Tomorrow is a Long Time

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 waitin`,

And if I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin`,

Yes and only if she was lyin` by me,

Then I`d lie in my bed once again.

I can`t see my reflection in the water(s),

I can`t speak the sounds that show no pain,

I can`t hear the echo of my footsteps,

Or can`t remember the sound of my own name.

Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin`,

And if I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin`,

Yes and only if she was lyin` by me,

Then I`d lie in my bed once again.

There`s beauty in the silver, singin` river,

There`s beauty in the rainbow in the sky,

But no one 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 waitin`,

And if I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin`,

Yes and only if she was lyin` by me,

Then I`d lie in my bed once again.
