Lyrics
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 wouldn't be in autumn
how I'd leave in autumn
I never would 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 wintery evening
when you catch the fire's glow?
If ever I would leave you
it wouldn't be in springtime
knowing how in spring
I'm bewitched by you so
oh no, not in springtime
summer, winter, or fall
no never would I leave you
at all
If ever I would leave you
it wouldn't be in springtime
knowing how in spring
I'm bewitched by you so
oh no, not in springtime
summer, winter, or fall
no never would I leave you
at all
