If You Go Away

Intro: 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 day was young and the night was long And the moon stood still for the nightbird's 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 on 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, 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 slow til your 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 to your eyes that I love so much But if you go, no, I won't cry Though 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 the world to trust Just an empty room, full of empty space Like the empty look I see on your face I'd have been your shadow if I thought it might Have kept me here, by your side If you go away, if you go away please don't go away
