Tomorrow Is a Long Time

Lyrics

[Verse 1] If today were not an endless highway If tonight were not a crooked trail If tomorrow were not such a long time Then the lonesome would mean nothing to me at all [Chorus] And if my own true love were only waiting for me And if I could hear her heart softly pounding If only she were lying by me Then I could sleep in my bed once again [Verse 2] I can't see my reflection in the water Can't speak the sounds that show no pain I can't hear the echo Can't remember the sound of my own name [Chorus] And if my own true love were only waiting for me And if I could hear her heart softly pounding If only she were lying by me Then I could sleep in my bed once again [Verse 3] There's beauty in the silver, singing river There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky None of these can match the beauty That I remember in my true love's eyes [Chorus] And if my own true love were only waiting for me And if I could hear her heart softly pounding If only she were lying by me Then I could sleep in my bed once again
