Kate Smith
If Ever I Would Leave You
If ever I would leave youIt wouldn't be in summer.Seeing you in summerI never would go.Your hair streaked with sunlight,Your lips red as flame,Your face with a lustreThat puts gold to shame!But if I'd ever leave you,It couldn't be in autumn.How I'd leave in autumnI never will know.I've seen how you sparkleWhen fall nips the air.I know you in autumnAnd I must be there.And could I leave youRunning merrily through the snow?Or on a wintry eveningWhen 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!
