If You Go - Helen Merrill

(If you should go, if you should leave him alone

There’ll be no spring or birds to sing

There’d be no sun to shine on him)

If you go, if you love me no more

If I know that you want me no more

Then the sun would lose its light

And day turn into night

Night without stars

Deep night without stars

If you go, if you leave me alone

If I know you’re no longer my own

Winter would replace the spring

The birds no more would sing

This cannot be, stay here with me

My heart would die I know

If you should go

Winter would replace the spring

The birds no more would sing

This cannot be, oh, stay here with me

My heart would die I know

If you should go
