If today was not an endless highway

If tonight was not an endless trail

If tomorrow wasn't such a long time

Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all



Yes and only if my own true love was waiting

If I could hear her heart softly pounding

If only 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

I can't remember the sound of my own name



Yes and only if my own true love was waiting

If I could hear her heart softly pounding

If only 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 could match the beauty

That I remember in my true love's eyes



Yes and only if my own true love was waiting

If I could hear her heart softly pounding

If only she was lying by me

Then I'd lie in my bed once again



If today was not an endless highway

If tonight was not an endless trail

If tomorrow wasn't such a long time

Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all



Yes and only if my own true love was waiting

If I could hear her heart softly pounding

If only she was lying by me

Then I'd lie in my bed once again
