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 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

Like no day 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



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

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 shadow

If I thought it might have kept me by your side

If you go away

If you go away

Please don't go away
