C            Am7            Dm         D9      G         Dm7                     C7+  Am  
If ever    I would leave you,      it wouldn't be in summer
Dm         F      Dm7(5-)         G                G    Am7      G/B    C  C7+  C7  
Seeing you in         summer,    I            never    would go
     C7                                 F7+            G              G/B      Em7              C7+            Am  
Your hair streaked with sunlight,      your lips red as flame
     F                    Dm            Dm7+         Dm7                              F             Dm  Dm7  G  
Your face with a luster                      that puts gold to    shame
C                Am7         Dm         D9         G         Dm7                     C7+  Am  
But if I'd ever leave you,         it couldn't be in autumn
Dm                 F      Dm7(5-)      G                  G    Am7         G/B      C  C7+  C7  
How I'd leave in autumn,         I              never    will know
          C7                 F7+            G            G/B    Em7                 C7+         Am  
I've seen how you sparkle            when fall nips the air
     F              Dm         Dm7+    Dm7                         F    G      C      Dm7  G  
I know you in autumn                      and I must be there
Bridge
                  E                 C#m7         A            B7                    E  
And could I leave you running merrily through the snow
             G#                    Bbm7                    F#m7                         B7            G7  
Or on a wintry evening         when you catch the fire's glow
C      Em7      Am7              Dm      D9      G         Dm7                     C7+         Am  
If ever I would leave you,      how could it be in springtime
Dm         F      Dm7(5-)         G               G         Am7    G/B    C    C7+  C7  
Knowing how in spring I'm            bewitched by    you so
     C7                      F7+            Fm                          Am              Am7+    D7  
Oh, no, not in springtime,    summer, winter, or fall
  F                         D9                      G7              C  
No never could I leave you            at    all
