If You Go Away

(Reprise anglaise d'une chanson de Jacques Brel) 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 a night bird's song 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 on the sun we'll ride on the rain We'll talk to the trees 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 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 Can I tell you now as you turn to go I'll be dying slowly 'til your next hello If you go away If you go away 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 The good's gone from goodbye If you go away If you go away If you go away
