If You Go Away

If you go away on a summer day Then your mind as well take the sun away On the birds that flee, on a summer's sky When the love was known, when the heart was high When the day was young, when nights are long When the moon stood still, but the night bird 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 I'll sail on the sun, I'll write on the rain Will talk to the trees and worship the wind But 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 If you go away, as I know you must Please tell the world to stop turning 'til You return again, if you ever do For what good was love, without loving you And I'm telling now, as I turn to go I'd be dying slowly 'til the next low 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 write on your touch I'll talk to your eyes, then I'll learn so much But if you go, I won't cry Though the good has gone from the word goodbye If you go away, if you go away If you go away If you go away, 'cause I know you must I'd be nothing left in the world to trust Just an empty wound, with an empty space An empty heart you see on your face I have been the shadow in the dark If I thought you might want me by your side If you go away, if you go away Please don't go away
