If You Go Away

If You Go Away - Tom Jones

Written by：Jacques Brel/Rod McKuen

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 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 and worship the wind

Then if you go I'll understand

Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand

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

If you go 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 slowly till the next hello

If you go away if you go away

If you go away

But if you stay

I'll make you a night

Like no night has been or will be again

I'll sail on your smile

I'll ride on your touch

I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much

But if you go go I won't cry

Though the good is gone

From the word goodbye

If you go away if you go away

If you go away

Please don't go away
