If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in this 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 birds sang

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 worship the wind
And if you go I‘ll understand
Leave me just enough love
to hold in 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
I‘ve been the shadow of your shadow
I thought it might have kept me by your side

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 worship the wind
And if you go I‘ll understand
Leave me just enough love
to hold in my hand

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

Et ne me quitte pas...
