"I Get Along Without You Very Well" lyrics

"I Get Along Without You Very Well"

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
