Stan Getz - If Ever I Would Leave You

Instrumental Version
Stan Getz feat. Claus Ogerman, Lalo Schifrin

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
