C  Fdim Am7       Dm    D9  G     Dm7    Fdim    C7M Am 
If ever  I would leave you,   it wouldn't be in summer 
Dm     F     Dm5-/7   G  Cdim  G   Am7   G/B  C C7M C7 
Seeing you in    summer,  I     never  would go  
     C7                 F7M      G       G/B  Em7     C7M   Am 
Your hair streaked with sunlight,   your lips red as flame 
     F           Dm    Dm7+ Dm7            F  Gdim   Dm  Dm7 G    
Your face with a luster         that puts gold to  shame 
C  Fdim    Am7   Dm    D9  G     Dm7    Fdim    C7M  Am 
But if I'd ever leave you,    it couldn't be in autumn 
Dm        F     Dm5-/7   G  Cdim  G   Am7  G/B   C C7M C7 
How I'd leave in autumn,    I      never  will know 
     C7            F7M      G      G/B  Em7     C7M   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    Fdim    C7M     Am 
If ever I would leave you,   how could it be in springtime 
Dm       F     Dm5-/7   G  Cdim  G       Am7 G/B  C  C7M  C7 
Knowing how in spring I'm     bewitched by  you so 
    C7           F7M      Fm        Fdim       Am     Am7+ D7 
Oh, no, not in springtime,  summer, winter, or fall  
   F                D9           G7 Fdim  C 
No never could I leave you     at  all
