Lyrics

[Intro]

Hi, it's me, Arthur

And they let me call you to see if you'd come back

'Cause I, I, I want you here

And I don't want you to go

[Verse 1]

If you go away on this sunny day

Then you might as well take the sun away

All the birds that flew in the bright blue sky

When our love was new and our hearts were high

And the day was young and the night was long

And the moon stood still for the night bird's song

If you go away

[Chorus]

But if you stay, I'll make you a day

Like no day has been or will be again

We'll ride on the rain, we'll sail on your touch

I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much

And if you go, go, I won't cry

All the good is gone from the word goodbye

[PostChorus]

If you go away, ne me quitte pas

If you go away

[Verse 2]

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 dark

I thought it might have kept me by your side

If you go away
