If You Go Away Lyrics


If you go away
On this summer day
Then you might as well
Take the sun away
All the birds that flewIn the summer sky
And our love was new
And our hearts were high
When the day was youngAnd the night was long
And the moon stood still
For the night bird song
If you go away, if you go away, if you go awayBut if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has ever been
Or will be againWe'll sail on the sun
We'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees
And worship the windAnd if you go
I'll understand

Leave me just enough love
To hold in my handIf 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 turningTill you return to me
If you ever do,
Oh what good is love without loving you?
I can tell you now, as you turn to goI'll be dying slowly
Till your next hello
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away,
But if you stayI'll make you a night
Like no night has ever been
Or will be again
I'll sail on you smileI'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes
That I love so much
But if you goI'll understand
Leave me just enough love
To hold in my hand
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away, if you go awayIf you go away, as I know you must
There is 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'd have been the shadow of your shadow
If you might have kept me by your side
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.

Cyndi Lauper (born Cynthia Ann Stephanie Lauper on June 22, 1953 in Brooklyn, New York, United States), is a Grammy Award-winning singer (who possesses a four-octave vocal range) and Emmy Award-winning film, television and theatre actress. She was lead singer of the rockabilly band Blue Angel before her rise to fame as a solo singer. Her melodic voice and wild costumes have come to epitomize the 1980s and New Wave — the decade and genre in which she first came to fame.

Born in Queens, New York to Swiss German-American Fred Lauper and Sicilian Italian-American Catrine Dominique, she began her career in a cover band, but soon began performing her own songs (though she almost quit singing altogether due to strained vocal chords in 1977). By 1980 she'd released a rockabilly album on Polydor with the band Blue Angel. Despite much critical acclaim, the album "went lead," as Lauper says, and the band split as Lauper filed for bankruptcy.

In 1983 she started dating her manager David Wolff with whom she released She's So Unusual, a worldwide hit album which made Lauper a household name. A mixture of teen-friendly pop-rock and edgier, almost punky sounds, the album's biggest hit, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, quickly established itself as a female anthem. Lauper won a Grammy Award for Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards of 1984 for her work on the album. Lauper was the first female artist to have four consecutive Hot 100 Top 5 hits from one album.

Subsequent albums (such as True Colors, A Night to Remember, Hat Full of Stars) did not sell as well, but Lauper remains active to the present day and still retains a very strong fan base.

Lauper's latest album Memphis Blues was released in June 2011, premiering at #1 on the Billboard Blues Album Chart where it remained for 14 consecutive weeks. The album also reached #26 on the Billboard Top 200, and was later named the Billboard Blues Album of the year, also earning Lauper a Grammy nomination. This brought her total Grammy nominations to 13 with one win.
