Lyrics

The very thought of you

And I forget to do

The little ordinary things

Everyone ought to do

I'm living in a kind of daydream

I'm happy as a queen

And foolish though it may seem

To me it's everything

The mere idea of you

The longing here for you

You never know how slow the moments go

'Til I'm near here 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

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
