I Was Doing All Right 1937 'The Goldwyn Follies of 1938'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 10 Feb 2005

Used to lead a quiet existence,
always had my peace of mind.
Kept Old Man Trouble at a distance;
my days were silverlined.
Right on top of the world I sat,
but look at me now,
I don't know where I'm at.

I was doing all right
nothing but rainbows in my sky,
I was doing all right
till you came by.
Had no cause to complain,
life was as sweet as apple pie,
never noticed the rain
till you came by.
But now whenever you're away,
can't sleep nights
and suffer all the day;
I just sit and wonder if
love isn't one big blunder.
But when you hold me tight,
Tingling all through,
I feel somehow
I was doing all right
but I'm doing better than ever now.

I was doing all right
nothing but rainbows in my sky,
I was doing all right
till you came by.
Had no cause to complain,
life was as sweet as apple pie,
never noticed the rain
till you came by.
But now whenever you're away,
can't sleep nights
and suffer all the day;
I just sit and wonder if
love isn't one big blunder.
But when you hold me tight,
Tingling all through,
I feel somehow
I was doing all right
but I'm doing better than ever now.
