Diamond, Neil - If You Go Away Lyrics






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 nightbird 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 that worship the wind
And if you go, I'll 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 must,
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room filled with empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly 'til your next hello
If you go away, if you go away
If you go away

But if you stay, I'll make you a night
Like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile
I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes, that I love so much

But if you go, I won't cry,
The good's gone from goodbye
If you go away, if you go away
If you go away

    If you go away on this summer day
    Then you might as well take the sun away
    All the birds that flew in a summer sky
    When our love was new and our hearts were high
    When the day was young and the night was lo-ong
    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 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
    Then if you go-o I'll 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 must
    There'll be nothin' left in the world to trust
    Just an empty room full of empty space
    Like the empty look I see on your face
    Can I tell you now as you turn to go
    I'll be dying slowly till your next hello
    If you go away, If you go away, If you go away

    But if you stay, I'll make you a night
    Like no night has been or will be again
    I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch
    I'll talk to your eyes that I-I love so much
    But if you go, I won't cry
    For the good's gone from goodbye
    If you go away, If you go away, If you go away

    When I was a young man in my teens my mother and stepfather moved all over the suburbs of Detroit . I worked my a_s off as a dishwasher at a denys restaurant during the day Monday thru Saturday . On Sundays in the summer of 1977 in the rodchester / Troy area I would cruise my 1967 Impala 327 # 4 barrel 375 horse power lima bean green black vinyl top and get stoned by myself and go garage sailing . This is how I found out about this song . I stoped at some very nice couples home they were laidback and comfortable and I went thru there 8 track tapes that the had put out for sale . I had an 8 track in my impala so I bought those that where in good shape . Neil Diamond Stones was in that stack that I purchased . It was the first one I tested . hard life (MULDEW)

    I thought this was a Rod McKuen song? She did go away; but I didn't know at the time; it was God's plan so that I would have an emptiness in my heart: that only He could fill!!! looking for LOVE? find Him at www.holylove.org = messages of Love! Love! Love!

    If you go away on this summer day
    Then you might as well take the sun away
    All the birds that flew in a summer sky
    When our love was new and our hearts were high
    When the day was young and the night was lo-ong
    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 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
    Then if you go-o I'll 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 must
    There'll be nothin' left in the world to trust
    Just an empty room full of empty space
    Like the empty look I see on your face
    Can I tell you now as you turn to go
    I'll be dying slowly till your next hello
    If you go away, If you go away, If you go away

    Like no night has been or will be again
    I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch
    I'll talk to your eyes that I-I love so much
    But if you go, I won't cry
    For the good's gone from goodbye
    If you go away, If you go away, If you go away

    My husband and I of 45yrs now always loved this music. I used to sing this to him every time he went to work and I was left alone "just an empty room filled with empty space" . After all these years, every morning I sing this to him when he leaves. " All the good is gone from goodbye" . Thank you Mr. Diamond for this precious song.

  61. �.... ....

    새벽 2시에 일어나 아지와 강촌이 와
    루미와 함게 듣다
    닐은 사춘기때 부터 들었다
    세월이 흘러 이제 나는 65세다
    참 아이러니 하다
    참 거칠게 살아왔고 나름 괜찮게 살고 있다 경제적으로
    한때는 잘곳이 없는 노숙자에서
    여러채의 집과 여러개의 매장
    외국으로 비즈니스 타고 그림보러 다닐정도
    그런대 왜 이런 류의 음악이 좋을까?
    에디뜨 삐아프 셀린디온 밤 새도록
    똑같은 곡을 여러사람의 버전으로 듣고있다
    그리고 세상은 살만하다
    감사하다!
