Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye

Template:Short description{{#invoke:other uses|otheruses}}Template:Infobox musical composition

"Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" is a popular jazz song with lyrics and music by Cole Porter. Part of the Great American Songbook, it was published by Chappell & Company and introduced by Nan Wynn and Jere McMahon in 1944 in Billy Rose's musical revue Seven Lively Arts.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The lyrics celebrate how happy the singer is in the company of the beloved, but suffering equally whenever the two separate. Describing it by analogy as a musical "change from major to minor", Porter begins with an [[A-flat major|ATemplate:Flat major]] chord and ends with an [[A-flat minor|ATemplate:Flat minor]] chord, matching the mood of the music to the words.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

The Benny Goodman Quintet (vocal by Peggy Mann) enjoyed a hit record with the song in 1945.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
