Tomorrow Is a Long Time lyrics

[Verse 1]
If today was not an endless highway
If tonight was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
Lonesome would mean nothin' to you at all

[Chorus]
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
And if I could hear her heart softly poundin'
And only if she was lyin' by me
Could I rest in my bed once again

[Verse 2]
I can't see my reflection in the water
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
And I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
Or remember the sound of my own name

[Chorus]
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
And if I could hear her heart softly poundin'
And only if she was lyin' by me
Could I rest in my bed once again

[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
There's beauty in the silver, singin' river
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothin' else can touch the beauty
That I saw in my own true love's eyes

[Chorus]
And only if my own true love was waitin'
And if I could hear her heart softly poundin'
And only if she was lyin' by me
Could I rest in my bed once again
