tomorrow is a long time

Lyrics

if today was not an endless highway, if tonight was not a crooked trail, if tomorrow wasn't such a long time, then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all, yes and only if my own true love was waiting, and if i could hear his heart softly pounding, if only he was lyin' by me, and i'd lie in my bed once again, i can't see my reflection in the waters, can't speak the sounds that show no pain, i can't hear the echo of my footsteps, can't remember the sound of my own name, yes and only if my own true love was waiting, and if i could hear his heart softly pounding, if only he was lyin' by me, and i'd lie in my bed once again, there is beauty in the silver singin' river, there is beauty in the sunrise in the skies, none of these and nothing else can match the beauty, that i remember in my true love's eyes, yes and only if my own true love was waiting, and if i could hear his heart softly pounding, if only he was lyin' by me, and i'd sleep in my bed once again
