If you go away, on this summer day..

         Fm

then you might as well, take the sun away.

        A#

All the birds that flew, in the summer sky..

         D#

when our love was new, and our hearts were high.

         G#                     G

When the day was young, and the nights were long..

and the moon stood still, for the nightbird's song.

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

We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain..we'll talk

                      D#

empty space, like the empty look I see on your face.

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