EXCEPT - SOMETIMES, by                    
First Line: I get along without you very well
Last Line: ... Except ... Sometimes.
Subject(s): Forgetfulness


I get along without you very well --
Of course I do ...
... Except ... sometimes ... when a summer breeze
Brings cool rain dripping from the trees
And this recalls the woods and mist
Where together we strolled one day and kissed.

But ... I get along without you very well,
Of course I do.

I really have forgotten you, you know,
Of course I have.
... Except ... sometimes ... when someone sings
And brings you back on memory's wings,
... Or when I hear a name
Like yours, or a voice that rings the same ...

I really have forgotten you ... almost ...
Of course I have,
... Except ... sometimes.
