"Every Time We Say Goodbye" is a well-known jazz song written by Cole Porter. It is part of the Great American Songbook and was published by Chappell & Company. The song was first performed by Nan Wynn and Jere McMahon in 1944 as part of Billy Rose's musical revue Seven Lively Arts.

The lyrics describe the joy the singer feels when with the person they love, but also the sadness that comes when they must part ways. Porter used a musical change from a major chord to a minor chord to match the emotions in the song, starting with an A flat major chord and ending with an A flat minor chord.

In 1945, the Benny Goodman Quintet, with Peggy Mann singing, recorded the song and it became a popular hit.
