If Ever I Would Leave You

If ever I would leave you

It wouldn't be in summer

Seeing you in summer I never would go

Your hair streaked with sun light

Your lips red as flame

Your face with a lustre

That puts gold to shame

But if I'd ever leave you

It couldn't be in autumn

How I'd leave in autumn

I never would know

I've seen how you sparkle

When fall nips the air

I know you in autumn

And I must be there

And could I leave you

Running merrily through the snow

Or on a wintery evening

When you catch the fire's glow

If ever I would leave you

How could it be in spring time

Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so

Oh, no! not in spring time

Summer, winter or fall

No, never could I leave you at all

If ever I would leave you

How could it be in spring time

Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so

Oh, no! Not in spring time

Summer, winter or fall

No, never could I leave you at all
