Alan Jay Lerner - If Ever I Would Leave You 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
