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 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 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
