If today was not an endless highway
If tonight was not a crooked trail
And if tomorrow wasn't such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all
ย
I can't see my reflection in the waters
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
ย
Or can't remember the sound of my own name
Yes and only if my own true love was waitin'
Yes and if I could hear her heart a-softly pounding
Oh, only if she was lying by me
ย
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
There's beauty in the silver singin' river
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
ย
That I remember in my true love's eyes
If today was not an endless highway
ย
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
