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 waiting And if I could 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 I can't speak the sounds that show no pain I can't hear the echo of my footsteps Or remember the sounds of my own name Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting 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 that rainbow in the sky But none of these 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 waiting I could only hear her heart a-softly pounding Yes, and only if she was lyin' by me Then I'd lie in my bed once again
