I Get Along Without You Very Well Lyrics

Carly Simon

(Hoagy Carmichael)

I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except when the soft rains fall
And drip from the 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 just the same
But I’ve forgotten you just like I should

What a guy
What a fool I am
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
