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