Connie Smith - Then and Only Then lyrics

In your haste you left and said you'd be returnin' In my sorrow I forgot to ask you when In my lonely room I sit and count the hours Every minute hoping I'll look up and you'll come walking in For then and only then will I stop crying And this aching breaking heart of mine will mend Not until I feel your arms around me Well I'll be happy and I live for then and only then All that's left inside my heart is just your echo And the tiny thread of hope to which I cling But if I keep holding on maybe some day You'll remember where you left me and come back for me again For then and only then... And I'll live for then and only then
