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 hearts were high
|
When the day was young, and the night was long
|
And the moon stood still for the nightbird'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 the sun, we'll ride on the rain
|
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
|
Then 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 'til 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 so much
|
But if you go, 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'll be nothing left in the world to trust
|
Just an empty room, full of empty space
|
Like the empty look I see on your face
|
I'd have been the shadow of your shadow
|
If I thought it might have kept me by your side
|
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
|
