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 song
If you go away, 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,
oh, we'll 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
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 slowly till the next hello
If you go away, if you go away,
if you go away, if you go away
But if you stay,
I'll make you a knight
Like no knight 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
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'll be in 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, please don't go away
you
