Intro:
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 nightbird'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 a-gain,
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain, we'll talk to the trees, and worship the wind,
Then, if you go, I'll under-stand, leave me just enough love to hold in my hand,
If you go a-way, if you go a-way, if you go a-way!
