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
Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all

[Chorus]
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
And I could hear her heart a-softly pounding
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
Can't remember the sound of my own name

[Chorus]
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
And I could hear her heart a-softly pounding
Only if she was lying by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again

[Verse 3]
There's beauty in the silver, singing 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
[Chorus]
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
And I could hear her heart a-softly pounding
Only if she was lying by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again

[Chorus]
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
And I could hear her heart a-softly pounding
Only if she was lying by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
