If you go away, on this summer day <br />Then you might as well take the sun away <br />All the birds that flew in the summer sky <br />When our love was new and our hearts were high <br />When the day was young and the night was long <br />And the moon stood still for the night birds' song <br />If you go away, if you go away, if you go away <br />But if you stay, I'll make you a day <br />Like no day has been or will be again <br />We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain <br />We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind <br />Then if you go, I'll understand <br />Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand <br />If you go away, if you go away, if you go away <br /><br />If you go away, as I know you will <br />You must tell the world to stop turning till <br />You return again, if you ever do <br />For what good is love without loving you <br />Can I tell you now as you turn to go <br />I'll be dying slowly till the next hello <br />If you go away, if you go away, if you go away <br /><br />But if you stay I'll make you a night <br />Like no night has been or will be again <br />I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch <br />I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much <br />But if you go I won't cry <br />Though the good is gone from the world goodbye <br />If you go away, if you go away, if you go away <br /><br />If you go away as I know you must <br />There'll be nothing left in the world to trust <br />Just an empty room full of empty space <br />Like the empty look I see on your face <br />I'd have been the shadow of your dog <br />If I thought you might have kept me by your side <br />If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
