i get along without you very well

Singer:billie holiday

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 fall 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

what's in store

should i fall 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
