The Very Thought of You
Carmen Cavallaro And His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
In the song "The Very Thought of You" by Carmen Cavallaro And His Orchestra, the lyrics express the overwhelming effect that someone's presence and thoughts can have on the singer. The first verse begins with the line "The very thought of you and I forget to do the little ordinary things that everyone ought to do." This suggests that when the singer is consumed by thoughts of this person, they become so enamored and preoccupied that they neglect everyday tasks and responsibilities. The lyrics convey a sense of infatuation and being lost in a daydream, as the singer describes themselves as "living in a kind of daydream" and being "happy as a king." Despite the potential foolishness of this obsession, the singer considers it everything to them.
The second verse continues to emphasize the impact this person has on the singer's life. The line "The mere idea of you, the longing here for you" highlights the intense desire and yearning the singer feels in their absence. The lyrics portray a sense of time slowing down when the person is not near, for the singer claims "You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you." This showcases the extent to which thoughts of this person dominate the singer's mind and perception of time.
The chorus further emphasizes the power of the individual's thoughts, with lyrics that assert how their presence is felt everywhere: "I see your face in every flower, your eyes in stars above." This poetic imagery suggests that their thoughts consume the singer to the point where they see reminders of the person's beauty and essence in everything around them. The line "It's just the thought of you, the very thought of you, my love" affirms that the mere thought of this person holds immense significance and importance to the singer – their thoughts alone are enough to evoke the deepest emotions and sense of love.
In summary, the lyrics of this song depict the overpowering effect that thoughts of a loved one can have on an individual. The singer becomes lost in a daydream, neglecting everyday tasks, and feeling as happy as a king. Their longing for the person is so strong that time appears to move slowly when they are apart. The person's presence is felt everywhere, with their face visible in every flower and their eyes seen in the stars above. Ultimately, the very thought of this person is portrayed as the core of the singer's love and happiness.

@ Farbschlacht, das Kleben geht nur mit viel Gefühl und Sekundenkleber. Beim Ergebnis müssen die Fluchten an der Bruchkante stimmen, d.h. eine gerade Unterlage ist sehr wichtig, auch müssen die richtigen Rillen vorher zueinander liegen, sonst gibts Endlosschleifen. Klebstoff darf nicht in die Rillen kommen. Kleben macht wegen des Aufwandes eigentlich nur Sinn bei Sprüngen oder einem fehlenden Bogenstück. Falls die Sammlung aus 50er Jahre Platten ist, wäre Neukauf sinnvoll, da leicht erhältlich.

@ funeralobservermetal - Wenn nur einer da ist dem es gefällt, war es jede Mühe wert. Danke für Ihren Kommentar.

Eine tolle Aufnahme und die Mühe absolut wert. Ich habe vor auch die Schellacksammlung meiner anderen Oma zu digitalisieren. Beim Sichten der guten Stücke war ich erschrocken wie die Platten z.T. aussehen. Viele müssen gewaschen und geklebt werden. Allerdings kann ich mir noch nicht ganz vorstellen wie ich die Kleberei bewerkstelligen soll
