If You Go Away

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 bird's 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 to 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 fill up my hand

If you go away
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
And I'd have been the shadow of your dawn
If I thought it might have kept me by your side

If you go away
If you go away

Please don't go away
