If You Will Love Me Once Again

I went on the road this mornin’, didn’t plan to come back home
Set out to see the country, thought I should be alone
Started out in Oklahoma, wound up in Bangor, Maine
But no matter where I travel, I hear the echo of your name
Thought you were just a memory when I left and said goodbye
I know my mind was lying, you’re a memory I can’t hide
I will leave this town tomorrow and take the mornin’ train
If you’ll keep the home fires burnin’ and love me once again
 
Chorus:

If you will love me once again,
I’ll be your mountain, your hero, and your friend
There’ll be no sad tomorrows, or regrets for yesterday
If you’ll hold me close beside you, and love me once again
When I hear the lonesome whistle, the pain it makes me feel inside
Can’t help but think about you and what I left behind
But if these big wheels keep on turning, they’ll take the pain away
‘Cause I’ll be lyin’ there beside you, and in your arms again
When I woke up this mornin’, I was lyin’ by your side
I thought that I was dreamin’ of the memories I could not hide
You woke, held me close; I felt the love within
It can be this way forever, if you will love me once again

Chorus:

If you will love me once again,
I’ll be your mountain, your hero, and your friend
There’ll be no sad tomorrows, or regrets for yesterday
If you’ll hold me close beside you, and love me once again

Repeat Chorus
