If You Go Away

If you go away
On this summer's 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

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
Talk to the trees
And worship the wind
But 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

If you go away
Like I know you will
You must tell the world to stop turning
Til you return to me
If you ever do
Oh what good is love
Without loving you?
I can tell you now
As you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly
Til your next hello

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 night
Like no night has been
Or will be again
I'll sail on you smile
I'll ride on your touch
Talk to your eyes
That I love so much

But 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

If you go away
Like I know you must
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room, full of empty space
Like that empty look I see on your face
I'd have been the shadow of your shadow
If I'd thought it might have kept me by your side

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