Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye
Farewell's Bittersweet Symphony: Unveiling Love's Melancholy Dance
Lyrics
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
Expressing the emotional impact of parting each time.
I die a little
Highlighting the profound emotional toll, feeling a little part of oneself dies with each goodbye.
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
Reiterating the emotional impact of farewells.
I wonder why a little
Expressing curiosity and questioning the reasons behind the separation.
Why the Gods above me
Pondering the actions of higher powers or fate.
Who must be in the know
Speculating that the divine entities are aware of the situation.
Think so little of me
Feeling undervalued or unimportant in the eyes of the divine.
They allow you to go
Questioning the permission or allowance for the departure.
When you're near
Describing the uplifting and refreshing atmosphere when the person is close.
There's such an air of spring about it
Noticing a sense of spring, symbolizing renewal and vitality.
I can hear a lark somewhere
Awareness of natural beauty, represented by a singing lark.
Begin to sing about it
Observing the joyous reaction inspired by the person's presence.
There's no love song finer
Acknowledging the exceptional quality of the love song.
But how strange the change
Reflecting on the unusual transition from happiness (major) to sadness (minor).
From major to minor
Noting the emotional shift that occurs with each farewell.
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
Repeating the emotional impact of saying goodbye.
When you're near
Recalling the positive atmosphere in the person's proximity.
There's such an air of spring about it
Reiterating the association with the vibrant season of spring.
I can hear a lark somewhere
Noticing the influence on the surroundings, as indicated by the singing lark.
Begin to sing about it
Highlighting the joyous response triggered by the person's presence.
There's no love song finer
Affirming the exceptional nature of the love song.
But how strange the change
Reflecting on the contrast between major and minor chords, symbolizing the emotional shift.
From major to minor
Acknowledging the peculiarity of the emotional transformation.
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
Reiterating the emotional toll of saying goodbye.
