The Very Thought of You

1934, with music and lyrics by Ray Noble

 

Verse

I don’t need your photograph to keep by my bed

Your picture is always in my head.

Now, I don’t need your portrait dear, to call you to mind

For sleeping or waking, dear I find…..

 

The very thought of you

I forget to do

Those little ordinary things

That everyone ought to do

I’m living in a kind of a daydream

I’m happy as a queen

And foolish though 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 every flower
