If you go away on that summer's day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer's sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the nights were long
And the moon stood still for the night birds' 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 stand on the sun, and race with the rain
We'll talk with the trees and wore with the wind
But if you go, I'll understand
Give me just enough love to hold in 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 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 - 'til the next hello
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 stand on the sun, and race with the rain
We'll walk to the trees and wore with the wind
But if you go I'll cry
For all good is gone from the world, goodbye

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

If you away - as I know you must
There is nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room, full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
And I'd be a 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
