if you go away

• if you go away
  on this summer's 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
  and the day was young
  and the nights were long
  the trees stood still for the night birds song
  
  if you go away
  if you go away
  if you go away
  
  and if you stay
  i'll make you a day
  like no day has been
  or will be again
  i'll sail on the sun
  i'll ride on the rain
  i'll talk to the trees
  and i'll worship the wind
  but if you go
  i'll understand
  leave me just enough love
  to fill up my hand
  
  if you go away
  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 , turning
  til you return again
  if you ever do
  for what good is love
  without loving you
  let me tell you now
  as you turn to go
  i'll be dying slowly
  til your next hello
  
  if you go away
  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 you smile
  i'll ride on your touch
  oh, i'll talk to your eyes
  how i love them so much
  but if you go
  i won't cry
  for the good is gone
  in the word "goodbye"
  
  if you go away
  please don't go away
  please don't go away
  
  please don't leave me
  i won't cry anymore
  i won't talk anymore
  i'll hide in your room
  and i'll watch you
  as you dance and you smile
  and i'll listen a while
  as you sing and you laugh
  please let me become
  the shadow of your shadow
  the shadow of your hand
  the shadow of your glass
  on this shadow of a man
  
  please don't leave me
  please stay
  please don't go away
  
  and if you stay
  i'll make you a day
  like no day has been
  or will be again
  i'll sail on the sun
  i'll ride on the rain
  i'll talk to the trees
  and i'll worship the wind
  but if you go
  i'll understand
  leave me just enough love
  to fill up my hand
  
  if you go away
  please don't go away
  please don't go away
