Loretta Lynn - 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 hopin' I'll look up and you'll come walkin' in For then and only then will I stop cryin' And this aching breaking heart of mine will mend Not until I feel your arms around me will I be happy and I live for then and only then [ steel ] 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...
