If today was not an endless highway If tonight was not a crooked trail If tomorrow wasn't such a long time Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all Yes if only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear her heart is softly pounding Only if she was lying by me Would I lie in my bed once again I can't see my reflection in the water I can't speak a sound or show no pain I can't hear the echo of my footsteps I can't remember the sound of my own name Yes if only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear her heart is softly pounding Only if she was lying by me Would I lie in my bed once again There's beauty in that silver singing river There's beauty in that rainbow in the sky But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty That I remember in my true love's eyes Yes if only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear her heart is softly pounding Only if she was lying by me Would I lie in my bed once again Would I lie in my bed once again
