Frank Sinatra - If You Go Away Lyrics






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 fill up 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.
If you go away, as I know you must,
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust,
Just an empty room, full of empty space,
Like the 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.

    Only Sinatra and Rod McKuen sing the original Brel line '...I'd have been the shadow of your dog...', whereas all other interpretations substitute the much less effective 'shadow' for 'dog'.

    If You Go Away
    Frank Sinatra
    Album: My Way

    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 nightbird 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 that worship the wind
    And if you go, I'll understand
    Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand
    If you go away, if you go away
    If you go away

    If you go away, as I know you must
    There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
    Just an empty room filled with empty space
    Like the empty look I see on your face
    Can I tell you now, as you turn to go
    I'll be dying slowly 'til your 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 (green) eyes, that I love so much

    But if you go, I won't cry
    The good's gone from goodbye
    If you go away, if you go away
    If you go away
