Then and Only Then

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
 [ steel ]
 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
