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 nights were long   And the moon stood still for the night bird's song   If you go away, if you go away, if you go away      But if you'll stay I'll make you a day   Like no day has been or will be again   We'll sail the sun, we'll glide 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      Can I tell you now as you turn to go   I'll be dying slow to the next hello   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 this world to trust   Just an empty room full of empty space   Like the empty look I see on your face      I 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, if you go away      But if you'll stay, I'll make you a night   Like no night has been or will be again   I'll sail on your smile, I'll glide on your touch   I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much      But if you go I know I will cry   And all the good is gone from the words goodbye   If you go away, if you go away, if you go away   Please don't go away
