"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 song

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 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

But 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 way
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

Can I tell you now
As you turn to go
I’ll be dying slowly
Till your next hello

If you go away if you go away if you go away

But 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 wont cry
For the good has gone from the word
Goodbye

If you go away if you go away if you go away if you go away
