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 nightbird 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

that worship the wind

and 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 must

there'll be nothing left

in the world to trust

just an empty room

filled with empty space

like the empty look i see on your face

can i tell you now as you turn to go

i'll be dying slowly

til your ne t 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 talk to your eyes

that i love so much

but if you go i won't cry

the good's gone from goodbye

if you go away if you go away

if you go away
