Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The very thought of you
And I forget to do
The little ordinary things
Everyone ought to do
[Verse 2]
I'm livin' in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a queen
But 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
Oh, until I'm near to you
[Verse 4]
I see your face
In every flower
Your eyes in the stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you
My love
[Verse 5]
The mere idea of you
Oh, the longing here for you
You'll never know
How slow the moments go
Oh, until I'm near to you, babe
[Verse 6]
I see your face
In every flower
Whoa, your eyes, your eyes in the stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you
My love
[Verse 7]
Oh, it's just the thought of you, babe
The very thought of you
My, my love
