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 you 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,

And drip from leaves, then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in you 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,

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...
