"Then And Only Then" lyrics

"Then And Only Then"
(originally by Bill Anderson)

In your haste you left and said you'd be returning
In my sorrow I forgot to ask you when
In my lonely room I sit and count the hours
Every minute thinking 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 mind will mend
Not until I feel your arms around me
Well, I stop crying and I live for then and only then

All that's left inside my heart is just an echo
And the tiny thread of hope to which I cling
But I know... oh no, maybe some day
You'll remember where you left me and come back for me again

For then and only then will I stop crying
And this aching breaking heart of mind will mend
Not until I feel your arms around me
Well, I stop crying and I live for then and only then
And I live for then and only then
