When you were mine br I held some reason and rhyme br A Jacobs ladder to climb br Sweet days of roses and wine. br Back then our hearts were new br As newborn stars turned out to view br That restless ocean of blue. br Our souls kissed once br And flew. br When you were mine br And we would sit, candlelit br And dine br That laughter of another another time br Those harmonies that br Now i can only mime. br Tears always follow after love sublime br The hollow silence of decline. br That heartbreak in slow motion br Yet I say that I'm just fine br God, what gave me the notion br That you were ever mine. br br Copyright Kevin East.
