Rod Stewart — Tomorrow Is Such 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 you at all [Chorus] Ah but only if my own true love is waitin' Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin' Only if she were lying by me Would I rest in my bed once again [Verse 2] I can't see my reflection in the mirror I can't speak the sounds that show no pain I can't hear the echoes of my footsteps And can't remember the sound of my own name [Chorus] Ah but only if my own true love is waitin' Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin' Only if she were lying by me Would I rest in my bed once again [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] There's beauty in the silver singin' river There's beauty in the sunlight in the sky But none of these, and nothing else Can steal the beauty That I remember in my true love's eyes [Chorus] Ah but only if my own true love is waitin' Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin' Only if she were lying by me Would I rest in my bed once again Ah but only if my own true love is waitin' Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin' Only if she were lying by me Would I rest in my bed once again
