Once You Were Mine

Bluer than all the skies above Sadder than the weeping willow tree That's the way I am without your love I never thought you'd run away from me Deeper than the oceans and the seas Sweeter than berries on the vine This was the love you took from me It hurts me so to see that I was blind Others I've known I can't recall their names Oh, but your love was different It was more than just a game Softer than velvet to my touch Smoother than satin cloth so fine And I love your mem'ry, oh, so much And rejoice to think once you were mine And rejoice to think once you were mine
