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 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
