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
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 go
When your 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 single time we say goodbye
(Transcribed by Mel Priddle - May 2014)
