I Was Doing Alright (Live Mar. 11, 1961)
Used to lead a quiet existence
Always had my piece of mind
Kept Old Man Trouble at a distance
My days were silver-lined
Right on top of the world I sat
But look at me now, I don't know where I'm at
I was doing all right
Nothing but rainbows in my sky
I was doing all right
Till you came by.
Had no cause to complain
Life was as sweet as apple pie
Never noticed the rain
Till you came by.
But now whenever you're away
Can't sleep nights and suffer all the day
I... just sit and wonder
If love isn't one big blunder.
But when you hold me tight
Tingling all through... I feel somehow
I was doing all right
But I'm doing better than ever now. (BREAK)
But now, whenever you're away
Can't sleep nights and suffer all the day
I... just sit and wonder
If love isn't one big blunder.
But when you hold me tight
Tinglin' all through, I feel somehow
I was doing all right
But I'm doing better than ever now.?
Always had my piece of mind
Kept Old Man Trouble at a distance
My days were silver-lined
Right on top of the world I sat
But look at me now, I don't know where I'm at
I was doing all right
Nothing but rainbows in my sky
I was doing all right
Till you came by.
Had no cause to complain
Life was as sweet as apple pie
Never noticed the rain
Till you came by.
But now whenever you're away
Can't sleep nights and suffer all the day
I... just sit and wonder
If love isn't one big blunder.
But when you hold me tight
Tingling all through... I feel somehow
I was doing all right
But I'm doing better than ever now. (BREAK)
But now, whenever you're away
Can't sleep nights and suffer all the day
I... just sit and wonder
If love isn't one big blunder.
But when you hold me tight
Tinglin' all through, I feel somehow
I was doing all right
But I'm doing better than ever now.?
