Dottie West - If You Go Away 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

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 bird's song

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

But if you'll stay I'll make you a day like no day has been or will be again

We'll sail the sun we'll glide on the rain we'll talk to the trees and worship the wind

Then if you go I'll understand leave me just lot love to fill up my hand

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

If you go away as I know you will you must tell the world to stop turning

Till you return again if you ever do for what good is love without loving you

Can I tell you now as you turn to go I'll be dying slow to the next hello

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

But if you'll stay I'll make you a night like no night has been or will be again

I'll sail on your smile I'll glide on your touch I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much

But if you go I know I will cry all the good is gone from the word goodbye

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 have been the shadow of your shadow

If I thought it might have kept me by your side

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