The Very Thought Of You

The very thought of you

I forget to do

Those little ordinary things

That everyone ought to do

I'm livin' in a kind of day dream

I'm happy as a queen

And foolish though it may seem

To me that's everything

The mere idea of you

The longing here for you

You'll never know

How slow the moments go

Till I'm near to you

I see your face in every flower

Your eyes in stars above

It's just the thought of you,

The very thought of you, my love
