If Ever I Would Leave You Songtext
von Della Reese

If ever I should 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 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 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
