Key:
Am If you go away, on this summer day
Dm Then you might as well take the sun away
G All the birds that flew in the summer sky
C When our love was new and our hearts were high
F E When the day was young, and the nights were long
Am And the moon stood still for the nightbird's song
F E If you go away, if you go away, if
Am you go away [Chorus]
Continues after the ad
Am F But if you stay, I'll make you a day
E Like no day has been, or will be
Am again
Am We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on
F the rain
G We'll talk to the trees, we'll fly
Am with the wind
Am But if you go, when I love you so
Dm There'll be nothing left in the world you know
G Just an empty room full of empty space
C Like the empty look I see on your face
F E If you go away, if you go away, if
Am you go away [Chorus]
Am F But if you stay, I'll make you a day
E Like no day has been, or will be
Am again
Am We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on
F the rain
G We'll talk to the trees, we'll fly
Am with the wind
Dm E But if you go away, if you go
Am away, if you go away
