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 day was 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 We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind Then if you go, I'll understand Leave me just enough love to hold in 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 what good is love without loving you Can I tell you now as you turn to go 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 to your eyes that I love so much But if you go 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 the shadow of your dog If I thought you might have kept me by your side If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
