Lyrics

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 And 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 But if you stay I'll make you a day Like no day has been or will be again We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind But 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, turning Till you return again if you ever do For what good is love without loving you And I tell you now as you turn to go I'll be dying slowly until 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 or will be again I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch I'll speak to your eyes that I love so much But if you go, then I won't cry For 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 this world to trust Just an empty room full of empty space Like the empty look that I see on your face Oh, I'd have been the shadow of your shadow If you might have kept me by your side If you go away If you go away If you go away
