Ray Charles - If You Go Away If You Go Away is an adaptation of the 1959 Jacques Brel song Ne me quitte pas with English lyrics by Rod McKuen. *** If you go away On this summers 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 And the day was young And the nights were long And the moon stood still For the night birds song If you go away If you go away If you go away... But if you stay Ill make you a day Like no day has been Or will be again Well sail on the sun Well ride on the rain And talk to the trees And worship the wind But if you go Ill 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 will You must tell the world To stop turning til 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 Ill be dying slowly til the next hello If you go away If you go away If you go away... But if you stay Ill make you a night Like no night has been Or will be again Ill sail on your smile Ill ride on your touch Ill talk to your eyes That I love so much But if you go I wont 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 is nothing left In this world to trust Just an empty room Full of empty space Like the empty look I see on your face And Id been the shadow Of your shadow If you might have kept me By your side If you go away If you go away If you go away... If you go away If you go away...
