If You Go Away (Live) Lyrics
Julio Iglesias
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
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
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
But 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 full of 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 till 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 you smile, I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
But if you go I wont cry
For the good has gone from the world, goodbye
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away, if you go away
