Lyrics Judy Collins

Judy Collins

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, then lonesome would

mean nothing to me at all,

If only my own true love was waiting, if I could hear his

heart softly pounding,

If only he was lyin' by me and 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 remember the

sound of my own name,

If only my own true love was waiting,

If I could hear his heart softly pounding,

If only he was lyin' by me and I'd lie in my bed once

again,

There is beauty in the silver singin' river,

There is beauty in the sunrise in the sky,

But none of these and nothing else can match

the beauty that I remember in my true love's eyes,

Yes if only my own true love was waiting,

And if I could hear his heart softly pounding,

If only he was lyin' by me and I'd sleep in my bed once

again.
