Tomorrow Is a Long Time

If today was not an endless highway

If tonight was not a crooked trail

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 waiting

And if I could hear his heart softly pounding

If only he was lyin' by me

And I'd lie in my bed once again

I can't see my reflection in the waters

Can't speak the sounds that show no pain

I can't hear the echo of my footsteps

Can't remember the sound of my own name

Yes and only if my own true love was waiting

And if I could hear his heart softly pounding

If only he was lyin' by me

And I'd lie in my bed once again

There is beauty in the silver singin' river

There is beauty in the sunrise in the skies

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 waiting

And if I could hear his heart softly pounding

If only he was lyin' by me

And I'd sleep in my bed once again
