If You Go Away Lyrics - Cyndi Lauper

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 

And 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, if you go away 

But if you stay, I'll make you a day 

Like no day has ever 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 

If you go away, if you go away 

If you go away, if you go away 

If you go away, like I know you will 

You must tell the world to stop turning 

Till you return to me if you ever do 

Oh what good is love without lovin' you? 

I can tell you now, as you turn to go 

I'll be dyin' slowly till your next hello 

If you go away, 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 ever been or will be again 

I'll sail on you smile, I'll ride on your touch 

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

But 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 away 

If you go away, like I know you must 

There'll be nothin' left in this world to trust 

Just an empty room, full of empty space 

Like that empty look I see on your face 

I'd have been the shadow of your shadow 

If I thought it might have kept me by your side 

If you go away, if you go away 

If you go away, if you go away
