The Very Thought Of You
Al Hibbler Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 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

Al Hibler in 1959 opened me up; let me sing from my heart. I love his voice, his range, his ability to let me feel the very thought of "YOU".
