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 
And the day was young, and the night was long 
And the moon stood still, for the night bird's song 
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 
And 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, as I know you will 
You must tell the world to stop turning, turning 
'til 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 'til the next hello.

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 glide 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, as I know you must 
There'll be nothing left in this world to trust 
Just an empty room full of empty space 
Like the empty look I see on your face 
And I'd have been the shadow of your shadow 
If it might have kept me by your side
