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 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
But if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to fill my hand
If you go away, if you go away,
if you go away
If you go away, as I know you will
You can tell the world to stop turning till
You re turn again, if you ever do
Oh, what good is love,
without loving you?
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go
I'll be dying slow, till our next hello
If you go away, if you go away,
if you go away
But if you stay, I'll make you a knight
Like no knight 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, go on, I won't cry
Though the good is gone from
the word goodbye
Why, 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
There'll be an empty room
full of empty space
Just like that empty look I
see on your face
Oh, I'd have been the shadow
of your shadow
If I thought it might keep me by
your side
If you'd go away
If you'd go away
If you go away
