if ever i would leave you

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 arms red as flame

your face with a luster that puts gold to shame

and if i'd ever leave you

it couldn't be in autumn

just how i'd leave in autumn

i never

never would know

i've seen how you sparkle when fall nips the air

i know you in autumn and i must be there

oh would i leave you running merrily

merrily

merrily through the snow?

or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow?

if ever i would leave you

it wouldn't be in springtime

knowing how in springtime i'm bewitched

bewitched

bewitched by you so

oh

no

not in springtime

summer

winter

or fall

if ever i would leave

leave you at all
