I Was Doing All Right - Jim Hall, Zoot Sims, Russ Freeman

Used to lead quiet existence

Always had my peace 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 alright

Nothing but rainbows in my sky

I was doing alright

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 I suffer all the day;

I just sit and wonder

If love isn’t one big blunder!

But when you’re holding me tight

Tingling all through, I feel somehow

I was doing alright

But I’m doing better than ever now!

Oh, I was doin' alright

Nothin' but rainbows in my sky

I was doin' alright

Till you came by!

I 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 I suffer all the day;

I just sit and wonder

If love isn’t one big blunder!

Johnny, when you’re holdin' me tight

Oh, tingling all through, I feel somehow

I was doin' alright

But I’m doing better than ever now!
