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
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
