The Very Thought Of You lyrics by Billie Holiday

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 queen
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
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
