Hoagy Carmichael



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 fall 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



What's in store

Should I fall 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
