For those who don't mind being a little confused by having "too many versions," here's my transcription from Spotify:


EV'RY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE
Written by Cole Porter ©1944
As sung by Mabel Mercer on "Mabel Mercer Sings Cole Porter" (1955)

1. 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 to go.

2. 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 goodbye!

REPEAT PART 2.
