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.

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,
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,
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, go,
I won't cry,
Though the good is gone
from the word goodbye,
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 [bad word] 
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 shadow
If I thought it might
have kept me by your side.
If you go away,
if you go away,
if you go away
