Ian & Sylvia — Tomorrow Is a Long Time

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin' And if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin' Only if she was lyin' by me And I'd lie in my bed once again [Verse 2] I can't see my reflection in the water I can't speak the sounds that know no pain I can't hear the echo of my footsteps I can't remember the sound of my own name [Chorus] Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin' And if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin' Only if she was lyin' by me And I'd lie in my bed once again [Verse 3] There's beauty in a silver, singin' river There's beauty in a sunrise in the sky But none of these and nothing else can match the beauty That I remember in my true love's eyes [Chorus] Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin' And if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin' Only if she was lyin' by me And I'd lie in my bed once again
