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 nothin' to me at all.
Yes 'n' only if my own true love was waitin'
If i could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Yes 'n' only if she was lyin' by me
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 'n' only if my own true love was waitin'
If i could only hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Yes 'n' only if she was lyin' by me
Then i'd lie in my bed once again.

There's beauty in that silver singin' river
There's beauty in that rainbow in the sky
But none of these an' nothin' else can touch the beauty
That i remember in my true love's eyes.
Yes 'n' only if my own true love was waitin'
'f i could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Yes 'n' only if she was lyin' by me
Then i'd lie in my bed once again.
