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 l***er that puts gold to shame
But if I'd ever leave you, it couldn't be in autumn
I've seen how you sparkle when fall nips the air
How I'd leave in autumn, I never will know
I know you in autumn and I must be there
And could I leave you running merrily through the snow
Oh, no, not in springtime, summer, winter, or fall
If ever I would leave you, how could it be in springtime
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so
Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow
No never could I leave you at all
Seeing you in summer, I never would go
Your hair streaked with sunlight, your lips red as flame
Your face with a l***er that puts gold to shame
But if I'd ever leave you, it couldn't be in autumn
I've seen how you sparkle when fall nips the air
How I'd leave in autumn, I never will know
I know you in autumn and I must be there
And could I leave you running merrily through the snow
Oh, no, not in springtime, summer, winter, or fall
If ever I would leave you, how could it be in springtime
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so
Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow
No never could I leave you at all
