[Verse 1]
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 hopin' I'll look up and you'll come walkin' in

[Chorus]
For then and only then will I stop cryin'
And this aching breaking heart of mine will mend
Not until I feel your arms around me
Will I be happy and I'll live for then and only then

[Verse 2]
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 someday
You'll remember where you left me and come back for me again

[Chorus]
For then and only then will I stop cryin'
And this aching breaking heart of mine will mend
Not until I feel your arms around me
Will I be happy and I'll live for then and only then
