The Very Thought Of You lyrics

Song information

Artist: Elvis Costello
Album: Kojak Variety

Lyrics

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 tho' 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 ev'ry 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
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
