Then and Only Then

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.



--- Instrumental ---



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 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...
