If ever I would leave you
It wouldn't be in summer
Seeing you in summer
I never would go
Your hair streaked with sun-light
Your lips red as flame
Your face with a lustre
that puts gold to shame
But if I'd ever leave you
It couldn't be in autumn
How I'd leave in autumn
I never will know
I've seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air
I know you in autumn
And I must be there
And could I leave you
running merrily through the snow
Or on a wintry evening
when you catch the fire's glow
If ever I would leave you
How could it be in spring-time
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so
Oh no not in spring-time
Summer winter or fall
No never could I leave you
at all
