This is one of the classic "gem" songs. I think of these as short, simple, stunningly beautiful in both music and lyrics. I love these ballads, because they send a pipeline into my heart.

lyrics

I GET ALONG WITHOUT YOU VERY WELL Hoagy Carmichael ‘39

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!
