 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 waiting
 Yes, and if  I could hear her heart  a softly pounding
Only  if she  was lying by  me
 Then I'd lie  in my bed  once again.
 I can't  see my reflection  in the water
 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 waiting
 Yes, and if  I could hear her heart  a softly pounding
Only  if she  was lying by  me
 Then I'd lie  in my bed  once again.
 There's beauty  in the silver,  singing 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 waiting
 Yes, and if  I could hear her heart  a softly pounding
Only  if she  was lying by  me
 Then I'd lie  in my bed  once again.
