If you go away on this summer day
|
Then you might as well take the sun away
|
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
|
When our love was new and our heart were high
|
When the day was young and the night was long
|
And the moon stood still for the night bird song
|
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
|
|
But if you stay I'll make you a day
|
Like no day has been or will be again
|
We'll sail on the sun we'll ride on the rain
|
We'll talk to the trees, worship the wind
|
But if you go I'll understand
|
Leave me just enough love to fill my hand
|
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
|
|
If you go away as I know you will
|
You can tell the world to stop turning till
|
You return again if you ever do
|
Oh what good is love without loving you
|
Can I tell you now as you turn to go
|
I'll be dying so till our next hello
|
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
|
|
But if you stay I'll make you a night
|
Like no night has been or will be again
|
I'll sail on your smile I'll ride on your touch
|
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
|
But if you go, go on I won't cry
|
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye
|
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
|
|
If you go away as I know you must
|
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
|
There'll be an empty room full of empty space
|
Just like the empty look I see on your face
|
Oh I had been the shadow of your shadow
|
If I thought it might keep me by your sight
|
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
|
|

If You Go Away
