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
