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 wasnʼt such a long time C D G Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all C D G Yes, and only if my own true love was waitinʼ C D G Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundinʼ C D G Only if she was lyinʼ by me C D G Then Iʼd lie in my bed once again. I canʼt see my reflection in the water I canʼt speak the sounds that show no pain I canʼt hear the echo of my footsteps Or canʼt remember the sound of my own name Thereʼs beauty in the silver, singing river Thereʼs beauty in the sunrise in the sky But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty That I remember in my true loveʼs eyes.
