If Ever I Would Leave You

If ever I would leave you
It wouldn't be in Summer
Seeing you in Summer

I never would go
Your hair streaked with sunlight
Your lips red as flame
Your face with a lustre
That puts gold to shame

But if I'd ever leave you
It couldn't be in Autumn
How I'd leave in Autumn
I never would know
I've seen how you sparkle
When Fall nips the air
I know you in Autumn
And I must be there

Or could I leave you running merrily through the snow?
Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow?

If ever I would leave you
How could it be in Springtime
Knowing how in Spring I'm bewitched by you so
Oh, no, not in Springtime
Summer, Winter or Fall!
No, never could I leave you at all!
