The very thought of you And I forget to do The little ordinary things That every one ought to do I'm living in a kind of day dream I'm happy as a king And foolish tho' 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 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
