"Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" is a song by Cole Porter, introduced in 1944 in Billy Rose's musical revue, Seven Lively Arts.
As well as being a very pretty song Porter adds a little cleverness; as the lyrics say "major to minor" the tune changes from major to minor chords.
The song became a jazz standard, recorded by Ella Fitzgerald (Verve Records 1956), and again in 1974 on her live Pablo release Ella in London, as well as Dinah Washington John Coltrane, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan, Ray Charles, Carly Simon, Rod Stewart, Robbie Williams, Chet Baker, Eden Brent, and Diana Krall.
Jack Jones recorded it for his 1964 album, Where Love Has Gone. Annie Lennox sang it in Derek Jarman's 1991 film Edward II after recording it for the Red Hot + Blue AIDS awareness tribute album to Cole Porter. Simply Red also included a recording of it on their 1987 album Men and Women.
The song is featured in the 2004 biopic De-Lovely. In the film and soundtrack, the song is sung by Natalie Cole.
