Then And Only Then

Connie Smith – Then and Only Then

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 hopin' I'll look up and you'll come walkin' 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

Will I be happy 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 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 crying

And this aching breaking heart of mind will mend

Not until I feel your arms around me

Will I be happy and I live for then and only then

Will I be happy and I live for then and only then
