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
