Song Lyrics

If ever I would leave you
It wouldn't be in summer
Seeing you in summer I never would go
Your hair streaked with sun-light
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 spring-time
Knowing how in spring
I'm bewitched by you so
Oh, no! not in spring-time
Summer, winter or fall
No, never could I leave you at all

No, never could I leave you at all

Alan Jay Lerner, Frederick Loewe
