If You Go Away

If you go away on the summer's 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 days were young and the nights were long

And the moon stood still for the night bird's song

If you go away

If you go away

If you go away

But if you stay, I'll make you a day

That like no day has been or will be again

And we'll sail the sun, we'll ride the rain

And 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

If you go away

'Cause if you go, 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 you're next to love

If you go away

If you go away

If you go away

But if you stay, I'll make you a night

That like no night has been or will be again

And I'll sell your smile, I'll write on your touch

I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much

Then if you go, no, I won't cry

Though the good is gone from the word's goodbye

If you go away

If you go away

If you go away

If you go away

If you go away

'Cause if you go, 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

Can I tell you now, as you turn to go

I'll be dying slowly till you're next to love

If you go away

If you go away

If you go away

If you go away

If you go away

If you go away
