Lyrics - 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 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
But if you stay I'll make you a day Like no day has been or will be again We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain And 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 Till you return again, if you ever do For good is love without loving you? Can I tell you now as you turn togo I'll be dying slowly till 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 talk your eyes that I love so much But if you go I won't cry For the good is gone from the world, goodbye
If you go away If you go away If you go away
If you 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 space I see on your face And 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
