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 hopin` I`ll look up and you`ll come walkin` in
For then and only then will I stop crying
And this aching breaking heart of mind will mend
Not until I feel your arms around me
Will I be happy and I live for then and only then
[ steel ]
All that`s left inside my heart is just an 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 live for then and only then
