If You Go Away

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

And 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 night bird songIf you go away, 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 again

We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain

We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind

And 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 awayIf you go away, like I know you will

You must tell the world to stop turning

Till you return to me if you ever do

Oh what good is love without lovin' you?

I can tell you now, as you turn to go

I'll be dyin' slowly till your next helloIf you go away, if you go away

If you go away, if you go awayBut if you stay, I'll make you a night

Like no night has ever been or will be again

I'll sail on you smile, I'll ride on your touch

I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much

But 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 awayIf you go away, like I know you must

There'll be nothin' left in this world to trust

Just an empty room, full of empty space

Like that empty look I see on your face

I'd have been the shadow of your shadow

If I thought it might have kept me by your sideIf you go away, if you go away

If you go away, if you go away
