Then And Only Then Lyrics - Connie Smith

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 walkin' 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 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 

And I'll live for then and only then
