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
And 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 bird 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 ever 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

And 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 to me
If you ever do,
Oh what good is love without loving you?
I can tell you now, as you turn to go

I'll be dying slowly
Till your 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 ever been
Or will be again
I'll sail on you smile

I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes
That I love so much
But 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

If you go away, as I know you must
There is nothing left in this 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 shadow
If you might have kept me by your side
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
