If today was not a crooked highway If tonight was not a crooked trail If tomorrow wasn't such a long time Then lonesome would mean nothin' to you at all Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin' If I could hear her heart a-softly poundin' Yes, and only if she was lyin' by me And I'd lie in my bed once again
I can't see my reflection in the water I can't speak the sounds to show no pain I can't hear the echo of my footsteps Or remember the sounds of my own name
Yes and only if my own true love was waitin' And if i could only hear her heart a-softly poundin' Yes and only if she was layin' by me And I'd lie in my bed once again
There's beauty in that silver singin' river There's beauty in that rainbow in the sky But none of these and nothin' else can touch the beauty That I remember in my true loves eyes
Yes and only if my own true love was waitin' If I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin' Yes and only if she was layin' by me And I'd lie in my bed once again
