IF EVER I WOULD LEAVE YOU
Andy Williams
(Frederick Loewe & Alan Jay Lerner)
If ever I would leave you
It wouldn't be in summer
Seeing you in summer I never would go
Your hair streaked with sunlight
Your lips red as flame
Your face with a luster that puts gold to shame
But if I'd ever leave you
It couldn't be in autumn
How I'd leave in autumn I never will know
I've seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air
I know you in autumn and I must be there
And could I leave you
Running merrily through the snow
Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow
If ever I would leave you
How could it be in springtime
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so
Oh, no, not in springtime, summer, winter, or fall
No, never could I leave you at all
And could I leave you
Running merrily through the snow
Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow
If ever I would leave you
How could it be in springtime
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so
Oh, no, not in springtime, summer, winter, or fall
No, never could I leave you at all
