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
