If you go away on this summer's 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 nights were long <br />And the moon stood still for the night bird's song <br />If you go away, if you go away, if you go away. <br /> <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 on the sun, we'll ride on the rain <br />And talk to the trees and worship the wind <br />But if you go, I'll understand <br />Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand <br />If you go away, if you go away, if you go away. <br /> <br />If you go, as I know you will <br />You must tell the world to stop turning <br />Till 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 word 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 is nothing left in this 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 shadow <br />If you might have kept me by your side <br />If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.<br /><br />Zenia Sheikh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-go-away-2/
