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 is 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
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
May me keep
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't cry
Though the good is gone
From the word goodbye
If you go away, if you go away, go away
If you go away
As I know you must
There'll be nothing left
In the world to trust
Just an empty moon
Full of empty space
Like the 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
May me keep
If you go away
