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 young and the night was long
And the Moon stood still for 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 nor will be again
We'll sail the Sun, we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
Then, 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 will
You must tell the world to stop turning till 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 slowly till the 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 nor 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, go on, I won't cry
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye
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
I'd been the shadow of your shadow
If I thought it might have kept me by your side
If you go away, if you go away, please, don't go away
