IF YOU GO AWAY
 J.Brel - R.McKuen

 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
 And our love was new
 And our hearts were high
 When the day was young
 And the night was long
 And the moon stood still
 For the night bird 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 on the sun
 We'll ride on the rain
 We'll talk to the trees
 And 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 must
 There'll be nothing left
 In the world to trust
 Just an empty room
 Full of empty space
 Like the empty look
 I see on your face
 Can I tell you now
 As you turn to go
 I'll be dying slowly
 Till 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 your smile
 I'll ride on your touch
 I'll talk to your eyes
 That I love so much
 But if you go
 I won't cry
 For the good has gone from the world goodbye
 If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
 If you go away
