If You Go Away

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

The trees stood still for the night birds song

If you go away

If you go away

If you go away

And if you stay

I'll make you a day

Like no day has been

Or will be again

I'll sail on the sun

I'll ride on the rain

I'll talk to the trees

And I'll 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 , turning

Til you return again

If you ever do

For what good is love

Without loving you

Let me tell you now

As you turn to go

I'll be dying slowly

Til your 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 you smile

I'll ride on your touch

Oh, I'll talk to your eyes

How I love them so much

But if you go

I won't cry

For the good is gone

In the word "goodbye"

If you go away

Please don't go away

Please don't go away

Please don't leave me

I won't cry anymore

I won't talk anymore

I'll hide in your room

And I'll watch you

As you dance and you smile

And I'll listen a while

As you sing and you laugh

Please let me become

The shadow of your shadow

The shadow of your hand

The shadow of your glass

On this shadow of a man

Please don't leave me

Please stay

Please don't go away

And if you stay

I'll make you a day

Like no day has been

Or will be again

I'll sail on the sun

I'll ride on the rain

I'll talk to the trees

And I'll worship the wind

But if you go

I'll understand

Leave me just enough love

To fill up my hand

If you go away

Please don't go away

Please don't go away
