Tomorrow is a Long Time

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 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

I can't see my reflection in the water

I can't speak the sounds to 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 waitin'

If I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'

Yes, and only if she was lyin' by me

Could I lie in that bed once again

Now there's beauty in the silver, singin' river

There's beauty in that rainbow in the sky

Ah, 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 waitin'

If I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'

Yes, and only if she was lyin' by me

Could I lie in my bed once again
