Tomorrow Is A Long Time

 Tomorrow Is A Long Time
 If today were not an endless highway
 If tonight were not a crooked trail
 If tomorrow weren't such a long time
 Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all
 And only if my own true love were waiting for me
 And if I could hear her heart softly pounding
 If only she was lying by me
 Then I'd lie in my bed once again
 I can't see my reflection in the water
 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
 And only if my own true love were waiting for me
 And if I could hear he heart softly pounding
 If only she was lying by me
 Then I'd lie in my bed once again
 There's beauty in the silver, singing river
 There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
 None of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
 That I remember in my true love's eyes
 And only if my own true love were waiting for me
 And if I could hear he heart softly pounding
 If only she was lying by me
 And she could lie in my bed once again
