C             F           C  
If today was not an endless highway,   
C             F           C  
If tonight was not a crooked trail,   
F             G           C  
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time,   
         F                     G          C  
Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all.   


[Refrão]
         F                     G          C  
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting,  
         F                     G          C  
And if I could hear her heart softly pounding,   
F          G          C  
Only if she was lying by me,   
F                         G              C  
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.   

C             F           C  
I can't see my reflection in the water,   
C             F           C  
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain,   
         F                     G          C  
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps,   
         F                     G          C  
I can't remember the sound of my own name.  
   
Chorus 
   
C             F           C  
There is beauty in the silver, singing river,   
C             F           C  
There is beauty in the sunrise in the sky,   
         F                     G          C  
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty   
         F                     G          C  
That I remember in my true love's eyes.  
  
Chorus 
ooooh
