    Tomorrow Is a Long Time is one of my all time favorite songs and this is one of the best rendition of the song. And the episode John Winn reveals before he sings the song is heart-wrenching and heart-warming at the same time.

    I have listened to a number of versions of this beautiful song, but the softness of John Winn's voice and emotion is the most beautiful and touching to me.

      Thank you Linda, It was by chance that I heard Bobby sing "Tomorrow is a Long Time"" that day in 1962 but now even at 88 I still hear his feelings whenever I sing his beautiful love song. Those feelings echo in every love song I've written and sing today. Here's, "Why do I Feel the way that I do." czcams.com/video/R7fuxITIOJI/video.html,

    I hate to sound like a broken record, but this song is so so good. Every time I hear it I hear more depth & subtlety. Just beautiful. As someone said earlier, my favorite version of my favorite Dylan song. Only a small handful of covers best the original of any song. This is one of them.

      Yes Lucas, it is a song of beautiful sadness that I've carried with me for over half a century. Most recently I sang it A cappella at a reading of my book, "This Singin' Thing" and the effect on the audience was still magical after all these years. That you found it so moving is a tribute to both Bobby and that special moment in time.

    A song I come back to again and again. John's cover is so full of heartfelt emotion, as though he had just said goodbye to a dear friend.
    Dylan's was raw emotion; John's is tempered by a lifetime of loves and loss, more resigned than raw, as though he's been here before.
    Keep truckin', John

    In the end it is the truth that produces the music of the spheres, the heavenly tones. It's never been about range or vocal gymnastics. Even a pitch perfect opera singer belting to the rafters ring hollow if the singer is not connected to the meaning of the language. I don't know this musician yet but he sure sings the truth! It's so very beautiful!

      John Winn I feel very honoured that you've replied John. I love your voice and couldn't find your music on iTunes here in the UK. I think that I was born just one generation too late. I have see Bobby several times over the last 30 years and recently managed to catch Joan Baez in concert whilst I was living in France a couple of years back. I think today's music lacks the sincerity of the folk days and so when I find a revelation such as your music I am so pleased. I've just come back from visiting my family in Southern Ireland where we passed a few Guinness filled nights listening to Irish folk. Thank you once again for your reply and my thoughts are with you and my other American friends over the next week or so with your almost surreal choices you have to make. God bless you.

With encouragement like yours I'll continue to sing as long as the Heavenly spirits permit. Here's a song that I wrote I think you'll enjoy. It's on youtube and you'll find I it listed as: John Winn "With the Comin' of the Mornin.."

      Thanks John. That Bobby was unusually talented was evident from his earliest days in the "Village". He did regale us with fanciful stories of his vagabond youth. They were wild but hey, they were good stories. Some of us were pursuing our own writing careers. Tom Paxton and Freddy Neil were also exceptional writers . Bobby's gift of unusual metaphor and melody soon became apparent to us as a sign of genius. www.johnwinnmusic.com has more info on those times.

    Mr John Winn, what a breath-taking rendition. Your singing embodies the fragility of the innocence of the first-love relation, when we are convinced that eternity is on our side only to wake up one day when she or he has gone and tomorrow is a very long time indeed !
    For the record: It is the one Dylan song that Elvis covered. His version is great. But no cover can surpass yours.

    Great Song. Here are the lyrics.
    If today was not a 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
    Yes and only if my own true love was waitin'
    And if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
    Yes, only if she was lyin' by me
    Then 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
    Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
    And if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
    Only if she was lyin' by me
    Then I'd lie in my bed once again. There's beauty in the silver, singin' river
    There's beauty in the rainbow in the 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 waitin'
    If I could hear her heart a softly poundin'
    Yes and only if she was lyin' by me,
    I would lie in my bed once again
