- 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
