Songwriter: Cole Porter

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 some-where
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

[trumpet solo]

When you're near
There's such an air of Spring about it
I can hear, a lark some-where
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

Goodbye...

Natalie Cole

The daughter of jazz legend Nat King Cole, Natalie Marie Cole (February 6, 1950-December 31, 2015) was an R&B icon who was primarily active from 1956 until her death in 2015 due to congestive heart failure at age 65. She first rose to success in the mid-‘70s with Inseparable and Natalie and later spawning Grammy-recognized albums like Unforgettable…With Love, which took home Album of the Year.

Cole has nine Grammy Awards out of twenty-one nominations – only a small testament to her legend.
