Tomorrow is a Long Time

If today was not an endless highway
If tonight was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
Lonesome wouldn't mean nothing to you at all

Yes, and only if my old true love was waiting
And if I could hear her heart softly pounding
And only if she was lying by me
Could I rest in my bed once again

I can't see my reflection in the water
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
And I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
Or remember the sound of my own name

Yes, and only if my old true love was waiting
And if I could hear her heart softly pounding
And only if she was lying by me
Could I rest in my bed once again

There's beauty in the silver, singing river
And beauty in the sun rising sky
None of this and nothing else can touch the beauty
That I saw in my old true love's eyes

And only if my old true love was waiting
And if I could hear her heart softly pounding
And only if she was lying by me
Could I rest in my bed once again
