Back in 1962, I was walking down West 4th Street in the village,
and I saw Bobby leaning up against the building where he had a little apartment.
He was looking pretty down, so I asked,
What's going on?
And he said, Well, Suzy's gone to Italy,
and I don't know if she's ever coming back.
I knew that was a bummer, because I also knew how close they were.
Then he said, Hey, I just written a song.
Would you like to hear it?
Of course I did.
So he went upstairs, he picked up his guitar,
and there, some 50-odd years ago,
this is a song I heard him sing that day.

[A] If today [G] was not an [D] endless highway,

[G] Tomorrow [A]
wasn't such a long time,
[G] Then lonesome would mean [A] nothing to me [D] at all.
Yes, and only if [A] my own true love was waiting,
[G] I could [A] feel her heart softly pounding.
[G] If [A] only she was [D] lying by [A]
me,
Then [D] I'd lie [G] in [A] my bed [D] once again.
I can't see my reflection in the water,
[A]
I can't [D] speak the words that show no [A] pain,
[G] Can't hear [A] the echo [D] of my [A] footsteps,
[G] Can't remember [A] the sound [D] of my own name.
Yes, and only [A] if my own true love [D] was [A] waiting,
