If Ever I Would Leave You
Words & Music by Jay Lerner & Frederick Loewe
Recorded by Robert Goulet, 1960
From the Broadway musical "Camelot"
C Fdim Am7 Dm D9 G Dm7 Fdim CM7 Am
If ever I would leave you, it wouldn't be in summer;
Dm F Dm7-5 G Cdim G Am7 G/B C CM7 C7
Seeing you in sum - mer, I nev - er would go --
C7 FM7 G G/B Em7 CM7 Am
Your hair streaked with sunlight, your lips red as flame,
F Dm Dm+7 Dm7 F Gdim Dm Dm7 G
Your face with a luster that puts gold to shame.
C Fdim Am7 Dm D9 G Dm7 Fdim CM7 Am
But if I'd ever leave you, it couldn't be in autumn;
Dm F Dm7-5 G Cdim G Am7 G/B C CM7 C7
How I'd leave in au - tumn, I nev - er will know.
C7 FM7 G G/B Em7 CM7 Am
I've seen how you sparkle when fall nips the air;
F Dm Dm+7 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 CM7 Am
If ever I would leave you, how could it be in springtime,
Dm F Dm7-5 G Cdim G Am7 G/B C CM7 C7
Knowing how in spring I'm be - witched by you so?
C7 FM7 Fm Fdim Am Am+7 D7
Oh, no, not in springtime, summer, winter, or fall --
F D9 G7 Fdim C
No never could I leave you at all.
