If Ever I Would Leave You Songtext

von Bryn Terfel

If ever I would leave you
It wouldn't be in Summer,
Seeing you in Summer
I never would go:
Your hair streaked with sunlight,
Your lips red as flame,
Your face with a lustre
That puts gold to shame.

But if I'd ever leave you
How could it be in Autumn?
How I'd leave in Autumn
I never would know.
I've seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air;
I know you in Autumn
And I must be there.

And could I leave you running
Merrily through the snow?
Or on a wintry evening
When you catch the fire's glow?

If ever I would leave you
How could it be in Springtime,
Knowing how in Spring
I'm bewitched by you so?
Oh, no! Not in Springtime,
Summer, Winter or Fall!
No, never could I leave you at all!

If ever I would leave you
How could it be in Springtime,
Knowing how in Spring
I'm bewitched by you so?
Oh, no! Not in Springtime,
Summer, Winter or Fall!
No, never could I leave you at all!
