“I Get Along Without You Very Well” is a popular song composed by Hoagy Carmichael in 1939, with lyrics based on a poem written by Jane Brown Thompson, and the main melodic theme on the Fantaisie-Impromptu in C sharp minor, Op 66, by Frédéric Chopin. Thompson’s identity as the author of the poem was...
[Verse 1]
I get along without you very well
Of course, I do
Except when soft rains fall
And drips 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
What a guy
What a fool am I
To think my breaking heart could kid the moon
What's in store
Should I fall once more?
No, it's best that I stick to my tune
[Verse 3]
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
I Get Along Without You Very Well was written by Hoagy Carmichael.
