I am Yours and You are Mine

(Gayle Ackroyd)
1997
Gayle Ackroyd
from the Anything but Blue CD
I can't use the words I want to
To say just how I feel
We said we'd stay together and we both keep the deal
But something in my heart is telling me we're passing time
Until the real thing comes along I am yours and you are mine

I'm the girl you thought would be the answer to your prayers
Tonight I lie beside you but the feeling isn't there
I must of thought I knew you It felt right at the time
Until the real thing comes along I am yours and you are mine
I call my friends for comfort but nobody's home
Why must I drown my sorrows
Why do I feel alone
I know that I'm no angel but I've tried to play the part I should have listened closer to my heart

I write love letters and graffiti on dance hall bathroom walls
And nobody knows who wrote them it's a mystery after all
Somewhere in the writings I make my mark in time
Until the real thing comes along I am yours and you are mine
