I Get Along Without You Very Well 1938

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 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..

I get along without you very well
Of course, I do
Except when soft rains fall
And drip from leaves

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 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..
