If You Go Away [original version] lyrics

If you go away on this summer day

Then you might as well take the sun away

All the birds that flew in a 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's song

If you go away

Ne me quitte pas

If you go away

Ne me quitte pas

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

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

Ne me quitte pas

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 'til your next hello

Ne me quitte pas

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

Then if you go I'll understand

Leave me just enough love to hold up my hand

If you go away

If you go away

Ne me quitte pas

If you go away

If you go away as I know you must

There'll be nothing left in this world to trust

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 dog

If I thought it'd have kept me by your side

If you go away

Ne me quitte pas

If you go away

Please, don't go away
