Lyrics

If you go away on this summer day Then you might as well take the sun away For 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 the 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 And worship the wind And if you go, I'll understand Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand If you go away, if you go away, if you go away Ne me quitte pas Il faut oublier Tout peut s'oublier Qui s'enfuit déja Oublier le temps Des malentendus Et le temps perdu A savoir comment Oublier ces heures Qui tuaient parfois A coups de pourquoi Le cour du bonheur Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas 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 And if you go away, I'll understand Leave me just enough love to hold in 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 this world to trust Just an empty room, full of empty space Like the empty look, I see it on your face I would have been the shadow of your shadow If it might have kept me by your side If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
