ANDY WILLIAMS - IF EVER I WOULD LEAVE YOU lyrics

rate me

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
