Tomorrow Is a Long Time

[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
