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 me at all
Yes and only I' my own true love was waiting
And if I could hear his heart softly pounding
If only he was lyin' by me
And I'd lie I' my bed once again
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 I' my own true love was waiting
And if I could hear his heart softly pounding
If only he was lyin' by me
And I'd lie I' my bed once again
There is beauty in the silver singin' river
There is beauty in the sunrise in the skies
None of these and nothing else can match the beauty
That I remember I' my true love's eyes
Yes and only I' my own true love was waiting
And if I could hear his heart softly pounding
If only he was lyin' by me
And I'd sleep I' my bed once again
