Lyrics If Ever I Would Leave You - Nancy Wilson

If Ever I Would Leave You

If ever I would leave you, it wouldn’t be in summer
Seeing you in summer I never would go
Your hair streaked with sun-light, your lips red as flame, your face with a
luster
That puts gold to shame
But if I’d ever leave you, it couldn’t be in autumn
How I’d leave in autumn I never will know
I’ve seen how you sparkle, when fall nips the air
I know you in autumn, and I must be there
And could I leave you running merrily through the snow
Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire’s glow
If ever I would leave you, how could it be in spring-time
Knowing how in spring I’m bewitched by you so
Oh, no!
Not in spring-time
Summer, winter or fall
No, never could I leave you at all
No, never could I leave you at all
