Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye

Cole Porter 

We love each other so deeply
That I ask you this, sweetheart,
Why should we quarrel ever,
Why can’t we be enough clever
Never to part?

Every time we say goodbye
I die a little,
Every time we say goodbye

I wonder why a little,
Why the Gods above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go,

When you're near there's such an air
Of Spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it,

There’s no love-song finer
But how strange
The change
From major to minor
Every time we say goodbye.
Every single time we say goodbye.
