[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
Every time we say goodbye
I die a little
Every 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 me to go

[Verse 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
[Chorus]
Every time we say goodbye
Skibi-bi-bi-bi-bi-bi
Tony, I love you, babe
Every time we say goodbye
Why, why, why?
