Connie Smith

(Bill Anderson)
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
Well, I'll 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 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...
