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
When the days were young and the nights were long
And the moon stood still for the night birds' song
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
But if you stay I'll make your 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
And 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 'til 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 'til the next hello
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
But if you stay I'll make your night
Like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your dirge
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
And if you go, 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 I see on your face
I'd have been a 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
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 days were young and the nights were long
And the moon stood still for the night birds' song
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
But if you stay I'll make your 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
And 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 'til 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 'til the next hello
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
But if you stay I'll make your night
Like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your dirge
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
And if you go, 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 I see on your face
I'd have been a 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
