"If You Go Away"

Madonna (2004)
Unreleased Cover from scrapped musical "Hello Suckers"

Lyrics:
If you go away
On this summer day
Then you might as well
Take the sun away
All the birds that flew
In the summer sky
When our love was new
And our hearts were high
When the day was young
And the night was long
And the moon stood still
For the night bird's song

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

But if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again
We'll sail the sun
We'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees
And worship the wind

And if you go
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
To fill up my hand

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

If you go away
As I know you must
There'll be nothing left
In this world to trust
Just an empty room
Full of empty space
Like the empty look
I see on your face
I would have been the shadow
Of your dark
If I thought might keep me
By your side

If you go away
If you go away
Please don't go away...

shirley bassey's rendition is magnificent. i love madonna and i love this song...but the combination of the two is dreadful.

[FerBolanos1966]

Not bad

[gazettadeluz]

@traviscisco jacques does it best. always will.

[gazettadeluz]

@jjswin she does emotion better than most pop singers out there. you obviously just havent heard them yet.

[jjswin]

awful. we all know madonna doesn't 'do' real emotion, so it's hard to really believe what she's singing.

[vlnlcn]

madonna has a  wonderful voice and a quality interpretation! piano a bit loud and too simple may be!

look it up, tried to upload but won't work

[traviscisco]

Belinda Carlisle does it best and I am a true Madonna fan

@liloleme29 I listened to Cyndi Lauper's version and it killed it for me. I don't like her voice, it's too high or empty without any passion...Madonna's version is clean and real. The way it should be.
