I Get Along Without You Very Well Lyrics
Of course I do
Except when soft rains fall
And drip from leaves that I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms
Of course do
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 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
Of course I do
Except perhaps in spring
But I should never think of spring
For that would surely break my heart in two...
Oh Lord, I can't believe that nobody commented on this song!!! It's one of my ALL TIME favorites!!! Renato Russo's version is the best. To me, this is about losing love, and trying to seem/feel strong, "Oh, I'm doing just fine without you, no problem!" but then he confesses "yeah, I'm fine, just not in the Spring - because something reminds me of you - or when it rains, or when I hear your name, or..." and then he's forced to face it: he's not getting along well at all!
i'm love Chet Bakers Music :]
Sadly i can related to all his music :/
Why HAS no one commented this song barely...maybe they don't listen to older stuff...well he's moved along, he's trying to get along with his laugh, but some things he can't help being reminded of...hmm i relate to this
I love this song. I love the conflict between his chorus line " I get along without you" with the many exception he give which encompasses about half of life - the spring, when it rains, when he hears a laugh, or hears her name. Beautiful and painful and so very true - and that's coming from someone listening to music and writing a comment on Valentine's Day, so I know what I'm talking about. :-)
