When You Were Mine (stripped down)
A young unassuming lad from Toronto. Fiddles with his guitar and sometimes a few tunes come out.
Lyrics
I sit and stare as the flames turn to ash
Wondering how love could slip through our hands
People come and go, life seems to pass so slow
Just like it did before you, so long ago
And I wonder, does the world still shine when you smile?
Do seconds still pass for a lifetime in your eyes?
Or was that just when you were my mine
Now I fight to cling to sweet memories
Soon to realize that now they only belong to me
I know that it's weak but I simply can't move on
At this point I'm just too far beyond gone
And I wonder, could you still bring my soul to life?
Could one look still stop my heart on a dime
Or was that just when you were mine
To hear you say it all again
All those things you once said
Want so much just to hear
Your voice dancing in my ear
And I wonder, could I still see you in all my dreams?
Does your love, your kiss, your touch still feel divine?
Or was that just when you were mine?
And I wonder, does the world still shine when you smile?
Do seconds still pass for a lifetime in your eyes?
Or was that just when you were my mine
