D                   G           D

If today was not an endless highway

                                  G        D

If tonight was not a crooked trail;

         G                    A7       D

If tomorrow wasn´t such a long time

          G                                A7                    D

Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all;

              G             A7                          D

Yes and only if my own true love was waitin´

                G                         A7                 D 

Yes and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin´

G          A7               D                 G                A7             D 

Only if she was lyin´ by me - then I´d lie in my bed once again.

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;

Or can´t remember the sound of my own name;

Yes and only ...

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;

Yes and only ...
