          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 
            And the day was young 
            And the nights were long 
            And the moon stood still 
            For the night bird's song 
            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 on the sun 
            We'll ride on the rain 
            And talk to the trees 
            And 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 
As I know you will 
You must tell the world 
To stop turning 
'til you return again 
If you ever do 
For what good is love 
Without loving you? 
Can I tell you now 
As you turn to go 
I'll be dying slowly 
'til the next hello 
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 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 
          As I know you must 
          There is be nothing left 
          In this world to trust 
          Just an empty room 
          Full of empty space 
          Like the empty look 
          I see on your face 
          And I'd been the shadow 
          Of your shadow 
          If you might have kept me 
          By your side 
          If you go away…
