If You Go Away
If you go away on this summer dayThen you might as well take the sun awayAll the birds that flew in the summer skyWhen our love was new and our hearts were highWhen the day was young, and the night was longAnd the moon stood still for the nightbird's songIf you go away, if you go away, if you go away
But if you stay, I'll make you a dayLike no day has been or will be againWe'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rainWe'll talk to the trees and worship the windThen if you go, I'll understandLeave me just enough love to fill up my handIf you go away, if you go away, if you go away
If you go away, as I know you willYou must tell the world to stop turning 'tilYou return again, if you ever doFor what good is love without loving you?Can I tell you now, as you turn to goI'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 nightLike no night has been or will be againI'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touchI'll talk to your eyes that I love so muchBut if you go, go! I won't cryThough the good is gone from the word goodbyeIf you go away, if you go away, if you go away
If you go away, as I know you mustThere'll be nothing left in the world to trustJust an empty room, full of empty spaceLike the empty look I see on your faceI'd have been the shadow of your shadowIf I thought it might have kept me by your sideIf you go away, if you go away, if you go away
