Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every time we say goodbye
I die a little
Every time we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
[Verse 2]
Why the Gods above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little of me?
They allow you to go
[Verse 3]
When you're near
There's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
[Verse 4]
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change, from major to minor
Every time we say goodbye
[Verse 5]
When you're near
There's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
[Verse 6]
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change, from major to minor
Every time we say goodbye
