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 night bird's 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 sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
Then 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
If you go away, as I know you must There'll be nothing left in the world to trust Just an empty room, full of empty space Like the empty 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, if you go away If you go away, please don't go away
