I Get Along Without You Very Well
Jimmy Dorsey
Words by Jane Brown thompson and music by Hoagy Carmichael.

Composed by Carmichael several years after being given Mrs. Thompson's
unsigned poem by a student at Indiana University. After an extensive
search, the author was located but she died the night before the song was
introduced by Dick Powell on a network radio program.
Sung by Hoagy Carmichael and Jane Russell in the 1952 film "The Las Vegas
Story."

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.

From: "Montcomags"
