Classic Poem

VERSE

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?

REFRAIN

Ev'ry time we say good-bye
I die a little.
Ev'ry time we say good-bye
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
Ev'ry time we say good-bye,
Ev'ry single time we say good-bye.
