If today was not on a lost highway,
If tonight was not a crooked tale,
If tomorrow was not such a long time,
Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all
I can`t see my reflection in the waters,
Can`t speak the sounds that show no pain
I can`t hear the echo of my footsteps,
Can`t remember the sound of my own name
Yes, and only if my true love was waiting
And if I could hear his heart softly pounding,
Only if he was lying by me,
Then I`d lie in my bed
Once again
There`s beauty in the summer singing river
There`s beauty in the sunrise in the skies
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 true love was waiting
And if I could hear his heart softly pounding,
Only if he was lying by me,
Then I`d lie in my bed
Once again
