Tomorrow is a Long Time

[Verse 1] If today was not a crooked highway If tonight was not a crooked trail If tomorrow wasn't such a long time Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting And if I could hear her heart softly pounding Yes, and only if she was lying by me Then I’d lie in my bed once again.... [Verse 2] 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 remember the sound of my own name Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting And if I could hear her heart softly pounding Yes, and only if she was lying by me Then I'd lie in my bed once again... [Verse 3] There's beauty in that silver, singing river There's beauty in the rainbow 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 if my own true love was waiting And if I could hear her heart a-softly pounding Yes, and only if she was lying by me Then I'd lie in my bed once again...
