Al Bowlly — The Very Thought of You

[Verse 1] I don't need your photograph to keep by my bed Your picture is always in my head I don't need your portrait, dear, to bring you to mind For sleeping or waking dear, I find [Chorus 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 And I'm happy as a king And foolish, though it may seem Why to me, that's everything [Chorus 2] The mere idea of you The longing here for you You'll never know How slow the moments go 'Til I'm near to you [Verse 3] 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 [Interlude] [Chorus 2] The mere idea of you The longing here for you You'll never know How slow the moments go 'Til I'm near to you [Verse 3] 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
