If You Go Away / Patricia Kaas

 

If You Go Away (Ne Me Quitte Pas) - Patricia Kaas

 

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 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, as I know you must
There'll be nothing left in this 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 it might have kept me by your side

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

*Repeat

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

Ne me quitte pas, ne me quitte pas...
