Julie Christmas 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 days were young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night birds' song
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
But if you stay I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain
And talk to the trees and worship the wind
But if you go I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to hold in 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
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
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 your eyes that I love so much
But if you go I won't cry
For the good is gone from the world, goodbye
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
If you 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
And I'd have been a shadow of your shadow
If you might have kept me by your side
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
