When Your Love Was Mine
Lost Love's Echoes: Marty Robbins' Melancholic Reflections
Lyrics
Where is the sun that used to shine above
Reflecting on the absence of happiness and warmth that was once present.
Where is the moon that used to glow with love
Expressing the loss of the affection and passion that used to exist.
Where are the stars that used to brightly shine
Mourning the disappearance of the brightness and joy symbolized by stars.
When your love was mine
Recalling a past time when the speaker had the love that is now gone.
Where are the dreams that made my life worthwhile
Questioning the whereabouts of dreams that once added meaning to life.
My world is cold without the warmth of your smile
Describing a present state of emotional coldness in the absence of a loved one's smile.
Gone are the vows that were to be for all time
Noting the dissolution of promises and commitments intended to last forever.
When your love was mine
Nostalgically referring to a period when the speaker enjoyed the love that is now lost.
Darkness and night drove away the light
Describing a metaphorical darkness and night that replaced the light of love.
You left and they came in love vanished with the wind
Connecting the departure of the loved one to the disappearance of love itself.
So here am I, my lonely cry takes me back again
Expressing the speaker's loneliness and the cyclical return to memories of a better time.
To a time when life was calm
Reflecting on a past era characterized by calmness and stability.
And your love was mine
Highlighting the central theme of the song: the speaker's longing for a past love.
