If Ever I Would Leave You

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 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 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
