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...
