I get along without you very well,
Of course I do
Except when soft rains fall,
And drip from 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 the same,
But I’ve forgotten you just like I should.
What a guy, what a fool am I,
To think my breaking heart could kid the moon.
What’s in store, Should I fold 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. But I get along without you very well.
Hoagy Carmichael
