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
When our love was new and our hearts were high
And the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night bird's 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 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 away as I know you will
You must tell the world to stop turning, turning
Till you return again if you ever do
For what good is love without loving you
And I tell you now as you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly until the 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 been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch
I'll speak to your eyes that I love so much
But if you go, then I won't cry
For the good is gone from the word Goodbye
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 this world to trust
Just an empty room full of empty space
Like the empty look that I see on your face
Oh, 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
