You Were Mine For Awhile

I stand alone and watch you go
The only love this heart will know
But though it hurts me so
You were mine for awhile

I hear your footsteps die away
And all my dreams will end today
But at least my heart can say
You were mine for awhile

Just for awhile
I owned heaven, for awhile
So I'll remember you
And my poor lonely heart will smile

And when the leaves of Autumn fall
Or in the Spring when bluebirds call
I won't be sad, for after all
You were mine for awhile

Just for awhile
I owned heaven, for awhile
So I'll remember you
And my poor lonely heart will smile

I always wish the best for you
May your fondest dreams come true
But as for me, I won't be blue
You were mine for awhile
