If ever I would leave you, it wouldn’t be in summer;

Seeing you in[Dm7-5] sum – mer, I nev - er w[G/B]ould go --

Your hair streaked with sunlight, your [G/B]lips red as flame,

Your face with a luster[Dm+7] that puts gold to shame.

But if I’d ever leave you, it couldn't be in autumn;

How I’d leave in[Dm7-5] au – tumn, I nev - er [G/B]will know.

I’ve seen how you sparkle when [G/B]fall nips the air;

I know you in autumn[Dm+7] and I must be there.

Bridge:

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 [Dm7-5]spring I’m be – witched by [G/B]you so?

Oh, no, not in springtime, summer, winter, or fall –[Am+7]

No never could I leave you at all.
