If Ever I Would Leave You

If ever I would leave you

It wouldn't be in summer

Seeing you in summer

I never would go

You're hair streaked with sunlight

Your lips red as flame

Your face with a luster

That puts gold to shame

But if I'd ever leave you

How could it be in autumn?

How I'd leave in autumn?

I never would know

I've seen how you sparkle

When fall nips the air

I know you in autumn

And I must be there

And could I leave you

Running merrily through the snow?

Or on a winter evening

When you catch the fire's glow?

If ever I would leave you

How could it be in springtime?

Knowing how in spring

I'm bewitched by you so

Oh no, not in springtime

Summer, winter or fall

No never could I leave you at all

If ever I would leave you

How could it be in springtime?

Knowing how in spring

I'm bewitched by you so

Oh no, not in springtime

Summer, winter or fall

No never could I leave you at all
