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...
