If You Go Away

If you go away on the 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 [Am7]long,
And the moon [C7]stood still
for [Dm7]the night bird's song.
If you [A7go away, if you [A7go away,
if you [A7go away. if you [A7go away.
But if you [A7stay, I'll make you [A7a day
Like no day has been, or will be [Am]again;
We'll sail the sun,
we'll ɾide on [C7]the ɾain,
We'll talk to [C7]the tɾees,
worship the wind.
Then if you [A7go, I'll understand,
Leave me just enough love
to [C7]fill up my [A]hand,
If you [A7go away, if you [A7go away,
if you [A7go away, if you [A7go away.
If you [A7go away,
as I know you [A7must,
There'll be [Am]nothing left
in the world to [C7]tɾust,
Just an empty ɾoom,
full of empty space,
Like the empty look
I see on [C7]your face.
I'd have been the shadow of your dog
If I thought it might have
kept me by your side.
If you [A7go away, if you [A7go away,
if you [A7go away, please, don't go away
