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?

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.
