Then And Only Then - Bill Anderson

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 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

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…

And I’ll live for then and only then
