IF YOU GO AWAY

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,
And the moon stood still,
For the night bird's 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,
And talk to the trees,
And 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,
Til you return again,
If you ever do,
For what good is love,
Without loving you?
Can I tell you now,
As you turn to go,
I'll be dying slowly,
Till the 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 you so much.

But if you go,
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 is nothing left,
In this world to trust,
Just an empty room,
Full of empty space,
Like the empty look,
I see on your face,
And I'd been the shadow,
Of your shadow,
If you might have kept me,
By your side.

If you go away,
If you go away,
If you go away..

If you go away,
If you go away..
