I Get Along inspiration

#1 Post by No Muscle Mary »

Just wandered accross a Smash Hits article that mention's Hoagy Carmichael's song I Get Along Without You Very Well.

Never heard of it before.

Must have inspired ver boys.

And how the writer must be proud that it was covered at one time or another by Linda Ronstadt (tee hee) and Billie Holliday.

Mind you, psb's one is better. Obviously.


Here's the lyrics:

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

And they'd only have to pay me 10% of the royalties for nicking that. :twisted:

PSB´s are better.
