Tomorrow Is a Long Time

If today was not an endless highway

If tonight was not a crooked train

If tomorrow wasn't such a long time

Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all

Yes, and only if my true love was waitin'

If I could hear his heart softly poundin'

And only if he was lyin' by me

Then I'd lie in my bed once again

I can't see my reflection in the water

I can't speak the sounds that show 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 true love was waitin'

If I could hear his heart softly poundin'

And only if he 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 sunrise in the sky

But none of these, and nothin' else, can match the beauty

That I remember in my true love's eyes

Yes, and only if my true love was waitin'

If I could hear his heart softly poundin'

And only if he was lyin' by me

Then I'd lie in my bed once again

If today was not an endless highway

If tonight was not a crooked train

If tomorrow wasn't such a long time

Lonesome would mean nothing to me at all

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

If I could hear his heart softly poundin'

Only if he was lyin' by me

Then I'd lie in my bed once again
