If You Go Away Songtext

von Rod Mc Kuen

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 birds song.
If you go away,
Ne me quitte pas
If you go away,
Ne me quitte pas

But if you stay,
Ill make you a day
Like no day has been,
Or will be again;
Well sail the sun,
Well ride on the rain,
Well talk to the trees
And worship the wind.
Then if you go,
Ill 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,
Ill be dying slowly
Till the next hello,

Ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas,
If you go away.

But if you stay,
Ill make you a night
Like no night has been,
Or will be again.

Ill sail on your smile,
Ill ride on your touch,
Ill talk to your eyes
That I love so much.

But if you go,
Ill understand,
Leave me just enough love

To hold in my hand,
If you go away,
Ne me quitte pas,
If you go away,
If you go away.

If you go away,
As I know you must,
Therell be nothing left
In the world to trust,
Just an empty room,
Full of empty s___e,
Like the empty look
I see on your face.
Id have been the shadow
Of your shadow
If I thought it might have kept me
By your side.
Ne me quitte pas,
If you go away,
Ne me quitte pas,
Please don't go away
