Then And Only Then (1965)
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 then maybe someday
You’ll remember where you left me and come back to 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
And I live for then and only then
