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 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'll stay I'll make you a day |
|
Like no day has been or will be again |
|
We'll sail the sun, we'll glide 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 |
|
Till 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 slow to the next hello |
|
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 this world to trust |
|
Just an empty room full of empty space |
|
Like the empty look I see on your face |
|
I 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 |
|
But if you'll stay, I'll make you a night |
|
Like no night has been or will be again |
|
I'll sail on your smile, I'll glide on your touch |
|
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much |
|
But if you go I know I will cry |
|
And all the good is gone from the words goodbye |
|
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away |
|
Please don't go away |
