If You Go Away Lyrics

Shirley Horn If You Go Away

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
When the day was young
And the night was long
And the moon stood still
For the night bird's song
[Chorus]
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

[Verse 2]
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
We'll talk to the trees
And worship the wind

[Pre-Chorus]
Then if you go
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
To fill up my hand

[Chorus]
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
[Verse 3]
If you go away
As I know you must
There'll be nothing left
In thе world to trust
Just an empty look
In an empty room
Full of empty spacе
I'd have been the shadow of your dog
If I thought it might have kept me by your side

[Chorus]
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

[Outro]
Please don't go, away
(Ne me quitte pas)
