If Ever I Would Leave You Songtext
von Tom Jones

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 couldn′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 mistry evening
When you match 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.
