Wwii Sheet Music
Title of old (WWII?) song and composer?
A couple of the lines from the song are ‘When I say goodbye, I cry a little’ and there’s a reference to ‘the change from major to minor’ where the music changes key from major to minor.
The version I’ve heard was a male/female duo. I’m guessing it may have been WWII era.
When I know the exact title and composer, I’ll try to get the sheet music!
Every time we say goodbye
(Cole Porter) 1944
Lyric:
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 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 goodbye.
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.
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.
Ev’ry single time
we say goodbye.
