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 hard 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
