Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Ah, but only if my own true love is waiting
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly pounding
Only if she were lying by me
Would I rest in my bed once again
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Ah, but only if my own true love is waiting
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly pounding
Only if she were lying by me
Would I rest in my bed once again
[Verse 5]
There's beauty in the silver, singing 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
[Verse 6]
Ah, but only if my own true love is waiting
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly pounding
Only if she were lying by me
Would I rest in my bed once again
[Verse 7]
Ah, but only if my own true love is waiting
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly pounding
Only if she were lying by me
Would I rest in my bed once again
