If You Go Away - Lyrics - Nana Mouskouri

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 day was young and the night was long And the moon stood still for the night-bird' 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 will sail the sun, we will ride on the rain We will talk to the trees, and worship the wind Then if you go, I'll understand, leave me just Enough love to fill up my mind 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 to your eyes, that I love so much But if you go, go, I won' t cry, though the Good is gone from the word goodbye If you go away, if you go away, if you go away If you go away, as I know you must There will 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 I' d have been the shadow of your shadow if I thought It might have kept me by your side If you go away Please don' t go away Please don't go away
