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

Seasons in the sun - Terry Jacks (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and A B C's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.

Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons
Out of time......

Goodbye Papa, please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along.

Goodbye Papa, its hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them I'll be there.

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone.

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone.

Goodbye Michelle, my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground.

Goodbye Michelle, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone

All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons
Out of time......

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
