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 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 night bird's 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 the sun, we'll ride on the rain,
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind.
Then 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, as I know you will, you must tell the world to stop turning
Till you return again, if you ever do, for what good is love without loving you,
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go, I'll be dying slowly till the 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, go, I won't cry,
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye,
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, full of empty space,
Like the empty look I see on your face.
I'd have been the shadow of your shadow
If I thought it might have kept me by your side.
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away. Please don't go away.

DON'T FORGET TO REMEMBER

Oh my heart won't believe that you have left me
I keep telling my self that it's true
I can get over anything you want my love
But I can't get myself over you

Don't forget to remember me
And the love that used to be
I still remember you
I love you
In my heart lies a memory to tell the stars above
Don't forget to remember me my love

On my wall lies a photograph of you
Though I try to forget you somehow
You're the mirror of my soul so take me out of my hole
Let me try to go on living right now

Don't forget to remember me
And the love that used to be
I still remember you
I love you
In my heart lies a memory to tell the stars above
Don't forget to remember me my love

I SEEK THE NIGHT

I seek the night
And I rest my head
On my weary bed
And I think about you

And time's on my mind
I've been thinking about
What I'm doing without
With a boy like you
What's a girl to do

Yesterday was more or less
Just like the day before
And time don't matter
When there's nobody else around

Yesterday is dead and gone
And all I believe is in now
I believe and how my time has come

Why sleep at all
Just to rest my head
On a lonely bed
And to dream alone

Time's on my mind
And the last I heard
He was like a bird
Don't know where he flew
And what's a girl to do

LET ME JUST FOLLOW BEHIND

Oh, to have you walking so near.
You're an angel, my dear,
and you ease my mind.
I'll not kiss or hold you, my dear.
Would you let me just follow behind.

Now, I have loved me many fine men.
Oh, so many fine men
had a bed to share.
I would trade these lovers gladly, my friend,
for a glimpse of you standing there.

How will I know when I reach heaven's door?
In your eyes I've seen it before.

If I never, never, never, never see you again,
though the path it may bend
and be filled with strife;
though the years may come and go without end,
I will think of you all of my life.

How will I know when I reach heaven's door?
In your eyes I've seen heaven before.

Oh, to have you walking so near.
You're an angel, my dear,
and you ease my mind.
I'll not kiss and hold you, my dear.
Would you let me just follow behind?

YOU

I can see the hands of time
Guess it's now my time to learn things I read in storybooks
Forgotten what it's like to weep
My mouth is open , I can't speak
What good would shouting be
So unreal to me , the feeling when you said goodbye
What can I do now

So please come back to me
Don't end this life of mine
Without you here with me
I know I'm gonna lose my mind

My tears are hurting me
Just what am I supposed to do
When you see me in your mind , watching you

The way you used to hold my hand
that no one else could understand
The way you used to wink your eye
Now all my hopes have changed to fears
And all my smiles have changed to tears
What good would shouting be
So unreal to me , the feeling when you said goodbye
What can I do now

So please come back to me
Don't end this life of mine
Without you here with me
I know I'm gonna lose my mind

My tears are hurting me
Just what am I supposed to do
When you see me in your mind , watching you
Watching you
