every time we say goodbye - Cole Porter

every time we say goodbye
"Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" is a song by Cole Porter, introduced in 1944 in Billy Rose's musical revue, Seven Lively Arts. The song became a jazz standard, recorded by Ella Fitzgerald (Verve Records 1956), as well as John Coltrane, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan, Ray Charles, Carly Simon, Rod Stewart, and Robbie Williams. Annie Lennox sang it in Derek Jarman's 1991 film Edward II after recording it for the Red Hot + Blue AIDS awareness tribute album to Cole Porter. Simply Red also included a recording of it on their 1987 album Men and Women. Robbie Williams also covered the song as a B-Side to his Lazy Days single release.

As well as being a very pretty song Porter adds a little cleverness; as the lyrics say "major to minor" the tune changes from major to minor chords.

Every time we say goodbye
I die a little
Every time we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the Godss above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little to 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
Theres no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Every time we say goodbye

When you're near
Theres such an air
of Spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
Theres no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Every time you say

Theres no love song finer
But how strange
The change from major to minor
Every time we say goodbye

On my first listen, I was dismissve, On second, I began to understand that even a finer voice & backing mean less than the emotional commitment of the performer. Thx.
