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
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night bird's song

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

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
We'll 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

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 'till
You return again, if you ever do
For what good is love without loving you
And I tell you now, as you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly until the next hello

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
If you away

But if you stay, I'll make you a night
Lke no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride 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'

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

If you go away, as I know you must
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room, full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
I'd have been the shadow of your shadow
If I thought it might have kept me by your side

If you go away
If you go away

Please don't go away
