If ever I would leave you,
It wouldn’t be in summer,
Leaving you in summer
I never could go.
Your hair streaked with sunlight,
Your lips red as flame
Your face with a lustre
That puts gold to shame.
And if I’d ever leave you,
It wouldn’t be in autumn
Seeing you in autumn
I never would go.
I’ve seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air
I know you in autumn
And I must be there.
And would 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
It wouldn’t be in spring time
Knowing how in spring
I’m bewitched by you so,
No, no, not in springtime
Summer winter or fall,
No never could I leave you
At all......
Thanks for the lyrics. They come from a time when there was some really good music. Lerner and Lowe, Rogers and Hammerstein — some of the best songwriters ever. Now we get so much hip hop and trash.
I need to learn spelling:
Lerner and LOEWE, not Lowe. *SIGH*
