The Very Thought of You Songtext

von Kurt Elling

I don't need your photograph
To keep by my bed
Your picture is always in my head
I don't need your portrait
To call you to mind
For sleeping or waking I find
The very thought of you
And I forget to do
All the little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I am living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish although it may seem
To me, its everything
The mere idea of you
This longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go
'Till I am 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 very thought of you
And I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
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
The very thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
