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 be 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 Will I be happy and I'll 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 will I stop crying... And I'll live for then and only then
