Lyrics for I Get Along Without You Very Well (Except Sometimes)

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 said I would Of course, I have Or maybe except when I hear your name Someone's laugh that's just the same I've forgotten you just likeI should What a guy What a fool am I To think my aching hearth Could keep the moon What's in store Should I phone once more No, no, no, no, no It's best that I stick to my tune I said that I get along Without you very well Of course, I do Except perhaps in spring But then I should never Ever think of spring For that would Surely break my heart in two
