If Ever I Would Leave You

If Ever I Would Leave You
Music by Frederick Loewe
Lyrics by Alan Jay

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
