If you go away on this summer day 

         D5
Then you might as well take the sun away;

         G5       
All the birds that flew in the summer sky 

         C5        C5            C5         C5
When our love was new and our hearts were high;

                  D5                     E5
When the day was young and the night was long

        A5
And the moon stood still for the nightbird's song,

          D5               E5  D5    A5
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.

           A5                   A5
But if you stay, I'll make you a day 

                E5              A5
Like no day has been or will be again;

                  A5                 A5   
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain, 

                   G5                    C5
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind.

     E5     A5             Bb5
Then if you go, I'll understand, 

                     D5      E5         A5
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand,

            C5          D5   D5             E5  D5  E5
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.



       A5
If you go away, as I know you will, 

          D5                     Dm+7
You must tell the world to stop turning til

      G5
You return again, if you ever do, 

          C5
For what good is love without loving you?

       D5                         E5
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go, 

         A5
I'll be dying slow til your next hello,

           D5             E5   D5    A5
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.

             A5                 A5
But if you stay, I'll make you a night 

                  E5              A5
Like no night has been, or will be again;

                   A5                      A5
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch, 

                   G5                 C5
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much.

    E5     A5               Bb5
But if you go, no, I won't cry, 

           D5                   E5         A5
Though the good is gone from the word good-bye.

            C5          D5  D5              E5   D5   E5
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.


         A5
If you go away, as I know you must, 

            D5
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust,

              G5
Just an empty room , full of empty space, 

          C5
Like the empty look I see on your face;

        D5                               E5
I'd have been your shadow if I thought it might 

      A5
Have kept me here, by your side;

            C5              D5        E5         A5
If you go away, if you go away . . . please don't go away.
