Loretta Lynn
"Then And Only Then" lyrics

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
Hoping 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 mine 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 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
Will I be happy and I live
For then and only then
