Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye
Unraveling Love's Melody: Robbie Williams' Poignant Farewell
Lyrics
Everytime we say goodbye
Feeling a sense of loss and pain whenever parting occurs
I die a little
Experiencing emotional pain or inner turmoil each time separation happens
Everytime we say goodbye
Reiterating the feeling of distress upon bidding farewell
I wonder why a little
Questioning the reasons or causes behind the emotional impact of separation
Why the gods above me
Wondering about higher powers (possibly referring to fate or destiny)
Who must be in the know
Suggesting the perception that divine entities might be aware of his situation
Think so little of me
Feeling insignificant or unimportant in the eyes of these higher powers
They allow you to go
Expressing a sense of resignation or acceptance regarding the departure
When you're near
When in your presence
There's such an air
There's a refreshing and vibrant atmosphere
Of spring about it
Sensing a renewal or a feeling of new beginnings
I can hear a lark somewhere
Hearing the joyful singing of a lark, signifying happiness
Begin to sing about it
Observing how even the birds seem to celebrate this joy
There's no love song finer
Expressing the uniqueness and beauty of the love experienced
But how strange the change
Reflecting on the peculiar nature of change after parting
From major to minor
Highlighting the shift from happiness (major) to sadness (minor)
Everytime we say goodbye
Reiterating the pain and emotional turmoil upon each departure
There's no love song finer
Reaffirming the exceptional quality of the love experienced
But how strange the change
Reflecting again on the paradoxical shift in emotions after parting
From major to minor
Emphasizing the transition from happiness (major) to sadness (minor) in love
Everytime we say goodbye
Summarizing the repeated pain experienced with each goodbye
