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's song

If you go away, 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 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



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 have been the shadow of your dog

If I thought it might have kept me by your side

If you go away, if you go away

If you go away, please don't go away
