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 day was long

And the night was warm

And the moon stood still

For the night birds song

If you go away

Ne me quitte pas

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 ride on the rain

We'll sail on your touch

I'll talk to your eyes

That I love so much

And if you go

Go, I won't cry

For the good is gone

From the word goodbye

If you go away

Ne me quitte pas

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 slow

'Til the next hello

If you go away

Ne me quitte pas

If you go away

Ne me quitte pas

But if you stay

I'll make you a night

Like no night has been

Or will be again

We'll ride on the rain

We'll sail on your touch

I'll worship your eyes

That I love so much

But if you go

I'll understand

Leave me just enough love

To fill up my hand

If you go away

Ne me quitte pas

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 dog

If I thought it might have kept me

By your side

If you go away

If you go away

Please don't go away
