If You Go Away

[Verse 1] 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 [Refrain] If you go away If you go away If you go away [Chorus] 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 [Refrain] If you go away If you go away If you go away [Verse 2] 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, till the next hello [Refrain] If you go away If you go away If you go away [Chorus] 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 [Refrain] If you go away If you go away If you go away [Verse 3] If you go away, as I know you must There'd 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 you might have kept me by your side [Refrain] If you go away If you go away If you go away
