#1.
 Cm
If you Go away, on this summer day..
         Fm
then you might as well, take the sun away.
        A#
All the birds that flew, in the summer sky..
         D#
when our love was new, and our hearts were high.
         G#                     G
When the day was young, and the nights were long..

and the moon stood still, for the nightbird's song.

If you Go away, if you Go away, if you Go away

to the trees, we'll fly with the wind.

                                           A#
left in the world, youk now..just an empty room full of 
                      D#
empty space, like the empty look I see on your face.

If you Go away, if you Go away, if you Go away

We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain we'll talk

to the trees, we'll fly with the wind.
