If You Go Away Lyrics By Terry Jacks

    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
    and the day was young
    and the nights were 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’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
