I Get Along Without You Very WellJimmy DorseyWords by Jane Brown thompson and music by Hoagy Carmichael.Composed by Carmichael several years after being given Mrs. Thompson'sunsigned poem by a student at Indiana University. After an extensivesearch, the author was located but she died the night before the song wasintroduced by Dick Powell on a network radio program.Sung by Hoagy Carmichael and Jane Russell in the 1952 film "The Las VegasStory."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 nameOr 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 heartCould 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 springFor that would surely break my heart in two.From: "Montcomags"
