The Very Thought of You Songtext
von Kurt Elling

I don′t need your photograph
To put by my bed
Your picture is always in my head
I don't need your portrait, dear
To call you to mind
For sleeping or waking, dear, 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, it's everything
The mere idea of you
This longing here for you

You'll never know how slow the moments go
Until 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 mere idea of you

This longing here for you
You′ll never know how slow the moments go
Until 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
