The Very Thought Of You

Ricky Nelson


The very thought of you and I forget to do 
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do 
I'm living in a kind of daydream 
I'm happy as a king 
And foolish though 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  

[instrumental interlude]

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
