"Every Time We Say Goodbye" is one of his best. One of the best examples of the perfect melody married to the perfect lyric.
Here's Annie Lennox and Herbie Hancock with their version.

"Mr. Irving Berlin
Often emphasizes sin
In a charming way
Mr. Coward, we know
Wrote a song or two to show
Sex was here to stay
Richard Rodgers, it's true,
Took a more romantic view
Of this sly biological urge
But it really was Cole
Who contrived to make the whole thing merge."
-- Noel Coward, rewriting the introduction to Cole Porter's song "Let's Do It"
