| 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
|
| When 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 birds' song
|
| If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
|
| If 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 turning till
|
| You return again, if you ever do
|
| For what good is love without loving you
|
| Can I tell you now as you turn to go
|
| I’ll be dying slowly till the next hello
|
| If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
|
| 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 been or will be again
|
| We’ll sail the sun, we’ll ride on the rain
|
| We’ll talk to the trees and worship the wind
|
| Then if you go, I’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 away 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
|
| I’d have been the shadow of your dog
|
| If I thought you might have kept me by your side
|
| If you go away, if you go away, if you go away |
