Once You Were Mine

(Larry Gatlin)



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 ocean and the sea

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 memory, oh. so much

And rejoice to think once you were mine.



And rejoice to think once you were mine...
