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 you at all 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 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 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 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 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 --- Tomorrow Is a Long Time - Rod Stewart
