If you go away on this summer day 
Then you might as well take the sun away 
All the birds that flew in this 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 sang 

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 worship the wind 
And if you go I'll understand 
Leave me just enough love 
to hold in 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 [bad word] 
just an empty room full of empty space 
like the empty look I see on your face 
I've been the shadow of your shadow 
I thought it might have kept me by your side 

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 worship the wind 
And if you go I'll understand 
Leave me just enough love 
to hold in my hand 

If you go away 
If you go away 
If you go away 

Et ne me quitte pas...1
