If you go away on this summer day

Then you might as well take the sun away

All the birds that flew in a summer sky

When our love was new and our hearts were high

When the day was young and the night was lo-ong

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 on the sun, we'll ride on the rain

We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind

Then if you go-o 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 as I know you must

There'll be nothin' 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 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 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-I love so much

But if you go, I won't cry

For the good's gone from goodbye

If you go away, If you go away, If you go away-ay-ay-ay
