If Ever I Would Leave You Songtext / Lyric

If ever I would leave you, it wouldn't be in summer.

Seeing you in summer I never would go.

Your hair streaked with sun-light,

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 spring-time

Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so

Oh, no! not in spring-time.

Summer, winter or fall.

No, never could I leave you at all.



No, never could I leave you at all.
