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
Ah but only if my own true love is waitin`
Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin`
only if she were lying by me
would I rest in my bed once again
I can`t see my reflection in the mirror
I can`t speak the sounds that show no pain
I can`t hear the echoes of my footsteps
and can`t remember the sound of my own name
Ah but only if my own true love is waitin`
Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin`
only if she were lying by me
would I rest in my bed once again
There`s beauty in the silver singin` river
There`s beauty in the sunlight in the sky
But none of these, and nothing else
can steal the beauty
that I remember in my true love`s eyes
Ah but only if my own true love is waitin`
Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin`
only if she were lying by me
would I rest in my bed once again
