If you go away - Terry Jacks (with lyrics)

"If You Go Away" is a song in English based upon the French song "Ne Me Quitte Pas" (1959), written by Jacques Brel.

 (Lyrics)

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

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 the sun, we'll ride on the rain

We'll talk to the trees, we'll fly with the wind

But if you go away, when I love you so

There'll be nothing left in the world you know

Just an empty room full of empty space

Like the empty look I see on your face

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 fly with the wind

But if you go away, if you go away

If you go away
