Tomorrow Is a Long Time

If today was not a crooked highway

If tonight I could finally stand tall

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

Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'

Only if she was lying by me

Then I'd lie in my bed once again

I can't see my reflection in the waters

I can't speak the sounds that know no pain

I can't hear the echo of my footsteps

I can't remember the sound of my own name

Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting

Yes, if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'

Only if she was lying by me

Then I'd lie in my bed once again

There's beauty in the silver singin' river

There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky

But none of these and nothing else can mach the beauty

That I remember in my true love's eyes

Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting

If I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin'

Only if she was lying by me

Then I'd lie in my bed once again

Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting

If I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin'

Yes, and only if she was lying by me

And I'd lie in my bed once again
