[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 me at all
[Chorus]
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
And if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was lyin' by me
And I'd lie in my bed once again
[Verse 2]
I can't see my reflection in the water
I can't speak the sounds that know no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
I can't remember the sound of my own name
[Chorus]
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
And if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was lyin' by me
And I'd lie in my bed once again
[Verse 3]
There's beauty in a silver, singin' river
There's beauty in a sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else can match the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes
[Chorus]
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
And if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was lyin' by me
And I'd lie in my bed once again
