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

Got the cutest little way Like to watch you all the day And it certainly seems fine Just to think that you'll be mine When I see your pretty smile Makes the living worth the while So I've got to run around Telling people what I've found And when I told them how beautiful you are They didn't believe me, they didn't believe me Your lips, your eyes, your cheeks, your hair Are in a class beyond compare You're the loveliest girl that one could see And when I tell them And I certainly am goin' to tell them That I'm the man whose wife one day you'll be They'll never believe me, they'll never believe me That from this great big world you've chosen me Don't know how it happened quite May have been the summer night May have been; well, who can say? Things just happen any way All I know is I said "yes" Hesitating more or less And you kissed me where I stood Just like any fellow would And when I told them how wonderful you are They didn't believe me, they didn't believe me Your lips, your eyes, your curly hair Are in a class beyond compare You're the loveliest thing that one could see And when I tell them And I certainly am goin' to tell them That I'm the girl whose boy one day you'll be They'll never believe me, they'll never believe me That from this great big world you've chosen me
