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 nights were long

And the moon stood still for the nightbird'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 the sun, we'll ride on the rain

We'll talk to the trees, we'll fly with the wind

But if you go away, when I love you so

There'll be nothing left in the world you know

Just an empty room full of empty space

Like the empty look I see on your face

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, we'll fly with the wind

But if you go away, if you go away

If you go away
