Then And Only Then - Connie Smith

Then And Only Then Lyrics

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' inFor 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 thenAll 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 againFor 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
