Lyrics
WHEN YOU WERE MINE
When you were mine,
Seemed there was always something on my mind
The latest song,
Or something else to drive me and I kept pushin? on
Tryin? to make our lives a better place and I just missed the signs
When you got left behind
When you were mine
When you were mine
I didn?t think to stop and help to keep us strong
When you were mine
I thought we?d have it all in time but I was wrong
When you were mine
I had the chance to make it right but I was blind
When you were mine
I?d give it all away to go back to the time
When you were mine???
When you were mine,
The old clock we found would ring a happy chime
But over again,
It reminds me of the precious moments that we?d spend
Together, doin things that didn?t seem that special at the time
But they were sweet as berry wine
When you were mine
When you were mine
I didn?t think to stop and help to keep us strong
When you were mine
I thought we?d have it all in time but I was wrong
When you were mine
I had the chance to make it right but I was blind
When you were mine
I?d give it all away to go back to the time
When you were mine,
Everything made sense, the prize was worth the time
Now you?re gone
Can?t seem to see the road that I should walk along
And every curve leads onward to an empty place, an empty time
But I was doin? fine
When you were mine
When you were mine
When I could show you that I loved you every day
When you were mine
When I could hold you close and chase the doubts away
When you were mine
Wish I could start again and write some different lines
When you were mine
And find a happy end that led on from the time
When you were mine??.
When you were mine
