I Get Along Without You Very Well

(hoagy carmichael)



I get along without you very well

Of course i do

Except when the soft rains fall

And drip from the leaves, then i recall

The thrill of being sheltered in your arms

Of course i do

But i get along without you very well



I’ve forgotten you just like i should

Of course i have

Except to hear your name

Or someone’s laugh that is just the same

But i’ve forgotten you just like i should



What a guy

What a fool i am

To think my breaking heart could kid the moon

What’s in store

Should i phone once more

No it’s best that i stick to my tune



I get along without you very well

Of course i do

Except perhaps in spring

But i should never think of spring

For that would surely break my heart in two
