TOMORROW IS A LONG TIME
“Tomorrow Is a Long Time”, is a song from the “Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits Volume II”
compilation first released in 1971. Elvis Presley‘s 1966 version for the Spinout
soundtrack was not this song’s first release, as is often claimed. The Ian and Sylvia
recording of 1964 is likely the first recording. However, 1965’s “Odetta Sings Dylan”
may have been where Elvis first heard it — not being Dylan’s greatest fan, it is unlikely
Presley would have considered the song for recording based purely on its author’s
rendition, had that been available prior to 1966.
If today was not an endless highway
If tonight was not an endless trail
If tomorrow wasn’t such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
If I could hear her heart softly pounding
If only she was lying by me
Then I’d lie in my bed once again
I can’t see my reflection in the water
I can’t speak the sounds that show no pain
I can’t hear the echo of my footsteps
I can’t remember the sound of my own name
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
If I could hear her heart softly pounding
If only she was lying by me
Then I’d lie in my bed once again
There’s beauty in the silver singing river
There’s beauty in the sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else could match the beauty
That I remember in my true love’s eyes
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
If I could hear her heart softly pounding
If only she was lying by me
Then I’d lie in my bed once again
If today was not an endless highway
If tonight was not an endless trail
If tomorrow wasn’t such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all
