Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye
Lyrics & Music by: Cole Porter

Ev’ry time we say goodbye
I die a little
Ev’ry 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

And 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
Ev’ry time we say goodbye

Why the gods above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They'd allow you to go

And 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
Ev’ry time we say goodbye, ev’ry time we say goodbye
Ev’ry time we say goodbye, ev’ry time we say goodbye.....
