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 is 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 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 May me keep 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 ride on your touch I'll talk to your eyes That I love so much But if you go,go, I wont't cry Though the good is gone From the word goodbye If you go away, if you go away, go away If you go away As I know you must There'll be nothing left In the world to trust Just an empty moon Full of empty space Like the 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 May me keep If you go away
