If You Go Away Lyrics

Terry Jacks 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 a summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the nights were long
And the moon stood still for the nightbird's 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
We'll talk to the trees, we'll fly with the wind

But if you go away, will I love you so
There'll be nothing left in the world, you know
Just an empty room, full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face

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
We'll talk to the trees, we'll fly with the wind

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
