Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye Lyrics

Artist: Ray Charles (Buy Ray Charles CDs)
Album: Ray Charles and Betty Carter

Everytime we say goodbye, I die a little,
Everytime 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,
Everytime we say goodbye.

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,
Everytime we say goodbye.

I heard Natalie Cole sing this on the DVD "DeLovely" based on the life of Cole Porter. Her delivery was heartfelt; she did an excellent job.
