If you go away
|
On this summer's 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 hearts were high
|
And the day was young
|
And the nights were long
|
The trees stood still for the night birds song
|
|
If you go away
|
If you go away
|
If you go away
|
|
And if you stay
|
I'll make you a day
|
Like no day has been
|
Or will be again
|
I'll sail on the sun
|
I'll ride on the rain
|
I'll talk to the trees
|
And I'll worship the wind
|
But if you go
|
I'll understand
|
Leave me just enough love
|
To fill up my hand
|
|
If you go away
|
If you go away
|
If you go away
|
|
If you go away
|
As I know you will
|
You must tell the world to stop turning, turning
|
Til you return again
|
If you ever do
|
For what good is love
|
Without loving you
|
Let me tell you now
|
As you turn to go
|
I'll be dying slowly
|
Til your 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 you smile
|
I'll ride on your touch
|
Oh, I'll talk to your eyes
|
How I love them so much
|
But if you go
|
I won't cry
|
For the good is gone
|
In the word "goodbye"
|
|
If you go away
|
Please don't go away
|
Please don't go away
|
|
Please don't leave me
|
I won't cry anymore
|
I won't talk anymore
|
I'll hide in your room
|
And I'll watch you
|
As you dance and you smile
|
And I'll listen a while
|
As you sing and you laugh
|
Please let me become
|
The shadow of your shadow
|
The shadow of your hand
|
The shadow of your glass
|
On this shadow of a man
|
|
Please don't leave me
|
Please stay
|
Please don't go away
|
|
And if you stay
|
I'll make you a day
|
Like no day has been
|
Or will be again
|
I'll sail on the sun
|
I'll ride on the rain
|
I'll talk to the trees
|
And I'll worship the wind
|
But if you go
|
I'll understand
|
Leave me just enough love
|
To fill up my hand
|
|
If you go away
|
Please don't go away
|
Please don't go away
|
