Kurt Elling - The Very Thought of You lyrics

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
