Hoagy Carmichael
I Get Along Without You Very Well (Takes 3 & 4)
[Verse 1]
I get along without you very well
Of course, I do
Except when soft rains fall
And drips 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

[Verse 2]
I've forgotten you, just like I should
Of course, I have
Except to hear your name
Or someone laugh that is the same
But I've forgotten you just like I should

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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
[Spoken]
Make another quick one
Make another rare quick one
Make another quick one

[Verse 1]
I get along without you very well
