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 night was long, and the moon stood still for the nightbird 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 to the trees and worship 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 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'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 dog, if I thought it might have kept me by your side, if you go away, if you go away.
If you go away.
