      C             F           C
If today was not an endless highway, 
C             F           C
If tonight was not a crooked trail, 
F             G           C
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time, 
         F                     G          C
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all. 
         F                     G          C
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
         F                     G          C
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin', 
F          G          C
Only if she was lyin' by me, 
F                         G              C
Then I'd lie in my bed once again. 

C             F           C
I can't see my reflection in the waters, 
C             F           C
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain, 
         F                     G          C
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps, 
         F                     G          C
Or can't remember the sound of my own name.
 
         F                     G          C
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
         F                     G          C
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin', 
F          G          C
Only if she was lyin' by me, 
F                         G              C
Then I'd lie in my bed once again. 
 
C             F           C
There's beauty in the silver, singin' river, 
C             F           C
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky, 
         F                     G          C
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty 
         F                     G          C
That I remember in my true love's eyes. 
         F                     G          C
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
         F                     G          C
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin', 
F          G          C
Only if she was lyin' by me, 
F                         G              C
Then I'd lie in my bed once again. 
C
ooooh...
