Tomorrow Is a Long Time (Witmark Demo - 1962)

[Verse 1]

If today was not a crooked highway

If tonight I could finally stand tall

If tomorrow wasn’t such a long time

Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all

Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin’

Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin’

Only if she was lyin’ 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 know no pain

I can’t hear the echo of my footsteps

I can’t remember the sound of my own name

Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin’

Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin’

Only if she was lyin’ by me

Then I’d lie in my bed once again

[Verse 3]

There’s beauty in the silver, singin’ river

There’s beauty in the sunrise in the sky

But none of these and nothing else can match the beauty

That I remember in my true love’s eyes

Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin’

If I could hear her heart a-softly poundin’

Only if she was lyin’ by me

Then I’d lie in my bed once again

[Verse 4]

Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin’

If I could hear her heart a-softly poundin’

Yes, and only if she was lyin’ by me

Then I’d lie in my bed once again
