If you go away
on this 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

and the day was young
and the nights were long
and the moon stood still
for the night bird's song

if you go away
f 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
and talk to the trees - and worship the wind

but 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 will
you must tell the world
to stop 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

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 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
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

and I'd 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

if you go away

if you go away
