The Very Thought Of You Lyrics - Elvis Costello

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 though it may seem to me 

That's everything 

The mere idea of you 

The longing year 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 eye in stars above 

It's just the thought of you 

The very thought of you 

My love 

The mere idea of you 

The longing year 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 eye in stars above 

It's just the thought of you 

The very thought of you
