ONLY WHEN I LOVE
(Holly Dunn / Tom Shapiro / Chris Waters)




Holly Dunn - 1987




Most the time I don't ever hurt about you
I do fine without you
Most the time I don't long to have you with me
Your memory doesn't get me
The only time that you still break my heart
Is when I'm in somebody else's arms


Only when I love do I think about us 
And what we lost and could have had together 
Only when I hold someone new who could never be you 
I realize what's gone forever


No one else has ever touched me like you touched me 
Or loved me like you loved me
When I forget, I'm reminded 
When I try to find another like you
I only ache for the way we felt 
When I'm reaching out to someone else


Only when I love do I think about us 
And what we lost and could have had together 
Only when I hold someone new who could never be you 
I realize what's gone forever


Only when I love do I think about us 
And what we lost and could have had together 
Only when I hold someone new who could never be you 
I realize what's gone forever


Only when I love
I think about us 
Only when I love 
I think about us
