Lyrics

WHEN YOU WERE MINE

Words and Music by Harriet Schock



I'm not saying tear the scar away
And pour salt into the wound
The time we had is so far away
But it's part of me and you
And to deny that it's there
And that we once cared
Well, that's just crazy and I can't do it
But it seems strange
To find out now...

That when you were mine
I never got to know you
I never got to show you
One grape of this sweet wine
I'd say the years
Have been gracious to you, darlin'
And I hear my memory callin'
Me back to the time
When you were mine.

You looked so beautiful
And you felt so like you
When I held you and we said hello
Just for a moment or two
Suddenly I was there
I know you know where
When we were crazy and love was blinding
Wisdom comes slow
Time goes fast

And when you were mine
I never got to know you
I never got to show you
One grape of this sweet wine
I'd say the years
Have been gracious to you, darlin'
And I hear my memory callin'
Me back to the time
When you were mine.

Who really knows if looking back
Is ever as it seems?
I only know it was a time
Of innocence and dreams...

When you were mine
I never got to know you
I never got to show you
One grape of this sweet wine
I'd say the years
Have been loving to you, darlin'
And I hear my memory callin'
Me back to the time
When you were mine.
