I don't need your photograph To keep 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 The little ordinary things Everyone ought to do I'm living in a kind of daydream I'm happy as a king And foolish though It may seem to me It'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 ♪ 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 The very thought of you, my love
