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 you at all;

Yes and only if my own true love was waitin´
Yes and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin´
Only if she was lyin´ by me - then I´d lie in my bed once again.

I can´t see my reflection in the waters;
I can´t speak the sounds that show no pain;
I can´t hear the echo of my footsteps;
Or can´t remember the sound of my own name;

Yes and only ...

There´s beauty in the silver, singin´ river;
There´s beauty in the sunrise 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 ...
