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"
