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 birds'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

We'll sail the Sun
We'll ride on the rain
We'll talk on the trees
We'll fly with the wind

Then 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 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
Till 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 ride on your touch
I'll take to your eyes
That I love so much

But if you go, 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'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
If you go away
