Chet Baker – I Get Along Without You Very Well 0

(music by Hoagy Carmichael, words by Anonymous)

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 was 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
