Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You picture is always in my head
I don't need your portrait dear to call you tonight
For sleeping or waking, dear, I find
The very though 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 queen
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
