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 bird's 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 fill up my hand<br />If you go away, if you go away, if you go away<br />If you go, as I know you will, you must tell the world to stop turning<br />Till you return again, if you ever do, for what good is love without loving you<br />Can I tell you now, as you turn to go, I'll be dying slowly till the next hello<br />If you go away, if you go away, if you go away<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, 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 />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 shadow<br />If I thought it might have kept me by your side<br />If you go away, if you go away, if you go away<br />Please don't go away
