| 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, and only if my own true love was waitin',
|
| Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin',
|
| Only if she was lyin' by me,
|
| Then I’d lie in my bed once again.
|
| I can’t see my reflection in the waters,
|
| I can’t speak the sounds that show no pain,
|
| I can’t hear the echo of my footsteps,
|
| Or can’t remember the sound of my own name.
|
| Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',
|
| Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin',
|
| Only if she was lyin' by me,
|
| Then I’d lie in my bed once again.
|
| There’s beauty in the silver, singin' river,
|
| There’s beauty in the sunrise in the sky,
|
| But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
|
| That I remember in my true love’s eyes.
|
| Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',
|
| Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin',
|
| Only if she was lyin' by me,
|
| Then I’d lie in my bed once again. |
