If You Go Away Lyrics

If You Go Away lyrics

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
