If Ever I Would Leave You-Bobby Hutcherson

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 lustre 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
