If you go away

If you go away
Leave me just enough love
To hold in my hand


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 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 on the sun. We'll ride on the rain.
We'll talk to the trees, and worship the wind
And if you go, I'll understand.
Leave me just enough love
To hold in my hand.
