I Get Along Without You Very Well lyrics

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.
