The Very Thought of You
Enchanting Daydreams: The Essence of 'The Very Thought of You' by Billy Eckstine
Lyrics
The very thought of you and I forget to do
The mere contemplation of you makes me forget my usual tasks.
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I neglect the ordinary responsibilities that everyone is expected to fulfill.
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I exist in a state of fantasy or reverie.
I'm happy as a king
My happiness is profound, akin to that of a king.
And foolish though it may seem
Despite its apparent foolishness to others, this feeling is everything to me.
To me that's everything
This emotional state is significant and meaningful.
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
The mere concept or notion of you generates a strong desire within me.
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
You will never fully comprehend the slowness of time when I'm not close to you.
I see your face in every flower
I visualize your presence in every flower I see.
Your eyes in stars above
Your eyes are reflected in the stars above.
It's just the thought of you
My happiness is derived solely from the thought of you.
The very thought of you, my love
The very thought of you, my love.
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
The sheer idea of you creates a deep yearning within me.
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
The passage of time feels prolonged until I am in close proximity to you.
I see your face in every flower
Your presence is omnipresent, even in the beauty of nature.
Your eyes in stars above
Your eyes are metaphorically present in the celestial bodies.
It's just the thought of you
My contentment is linked solely to the thought of you.
The very thought of you, my love
The very thought of you, my love.
