Aretha Franklin

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 Aus Songtexte Mania
