If Ever I Would Leave You lyrics

If Ever I Would Leave You


Artist: Andy Williams-from his `Warm and Willing` LP
Music by Frederick Loewe and Words by Alan Jay Lerner
from the Broadway musical `Camelot`
(found on beaucoup LP`s by everyone ranging from Percy Faith to Robert Goulet
and John Gary, Aretha Franklin, and Tom Jones but apparently NEVER done as a
single by ANYONE to make even the `Bubbling Under the Hot 100` at Billboard!!!)


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
