If You Go Away

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-birds' song

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 till the next hello

Girl, if you go away

Ne me quitte pas

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 I love so much

But if you go... Go, I won't cry

Though the good's gone from the word goodbye

If you go away

Girl, if you go away

If you go away

If you go away, as I know you must

Oh, there'll be nothing left in the world to trust

Just an empty room full of empty space

Like that empty look I can 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

Ne me quitte pas

If you go away
