If You Go Away

Terry Jacks

If you go away

On a summer day

Then you might as well

Keep the sun away

All the birds that flew

In the summer sky

And our lovers knew

And our hearts were high

And the days were young

And the nights were long

And the moon stood still

With the night birds song



If you go away (3)



But if you stay

I'll make you a day

Like no day has been

Or will be again

Well sail on suns

Well ride on the rain

Well talk to the trees

Well fly with the wind



But if you go away

And I love you so

They'll be nothing left

In the world you know

Just an empty moon

Full of empty space

Like an empty look

I see on your face



If you go away (3)



But if you stay

Ill make you a day

Like no day has been

Or will be again

Well sail the suns

Well ride on the rain

Well talk to the trees

Well fly with the wind



If you go away (3)
