Tomorrow Is A Long Time

G                   C       G  
If today was not an endless highway,  
G                    C       G  
If tonight was not a crooked trail,  
   C        D             G  
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time,  
     C              D               G  
Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all.  

         C          D                 G  
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting  
         C                   D              G  
And if I could hear her heart a-softly pounding,  
C       D             G  
Only if she was lying by me,  
         C         D         G  
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.  

   C        D             G  
I can't see my reflection in the water,  
     C              D              G  
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain,  
   C        D            G  
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps,  
     C              D              G  
I can't remember the sound of my own name.  

Chorus 

   C        D             G  
There is beauty in the silver, singing river,  
     C              D               G  
There is beauty in the sunrise in the sky,  
   C        D                      G  
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty  
     C              D              G  
That I remember in my true love's eyes.
