Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The very thought of you
And I forget to do
The little ordinary things
That everyone ought to do
[Verse 2]
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish, though it may seem
To me, that's everything
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
The very thought of you, my love
The very thought of you, my love
