Standard (EADGBE)
If today was not an endless highway
If tonight was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn?t such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all
I can see my reflection in the waters
I can speak the sounds that show no pain
I can?t hear the echo of my footsteps
And I can?t remember the sound of my own name
Ah but only if my own true love was waitin
I could hear her heart softly poundin
Only if she was lyin? by me then I?d lie in my bed once again.
Solo
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
That I remember in my true love?s eyes
Ah but only if my own true love was waitin
I could hear her heart softly poundin
Only if she was lyin? by me then I?d lie in my bed once again.
