Tomorrow Is a Long Time

Tomorrow Is A Long Time - Judy Collins

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 all

Yes and only if my own true love was waiting

And if I could hear his heart softly pounding

If only he was lying 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 lying by me

And I'd lie in my bed once again

There's beauty in the silver singing river

There's beauty in the sunrise in sky

But none of these and nothing else can touch 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 lying by me

And I'd sleep in my bed once again
