Ev
Porter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 that they allow you go

When your 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




Every time we say goodbye

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Porter's song Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye portray a deep sense of melancholy and heartache that arises every time the singer says goodbye to a beloved. The opening lines show the impact of such departures on the singer, who feels like a part of them dies every time they bid farewell. He wonders why fate is so cruel as to take away his loved one and leave him to mourn.


The next lines suggest a certain resignation on the part of the singer as he reflects on the inevitability of their separation. He questions why higher powers, who he assumes are aware of everything, would allow such pain and heartbreak to exist. The sadness of his situation is accentuated by the fact that his loved one is still near, and he can feel the warmth and joy of their presence, yet they are still being taken away.


The song's final lines express the beauty and irony of love. The singer acknowledges that there is no love song more beautiful than the one they share, and yet every time they say goodbye, there is a change from major to minor in their emotional chord progression. This signifies a shift from happiness to sadness, and it is a reminder that nothing is permanent, and every moment is fleeting.
