If You Go Away

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 days were young and the nights were long And the moon stood still for the night birds' song If you go away If you go away If you go away But if you stay I'll make your day Like no day has been or will be again We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind And 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 '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 If you go away If you go away But if you stay I'll make your night Like no night has been or will be again I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your dirge I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much And if you go, I won't cry For 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 this world to trust Just an empty room Full of empty space Like the empty look I see on your face I'd have been a shadow of your shadow If you might have kept me by your side If you go away If you go away If you go away
