if today was not 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 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 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
