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