The Very Thought Of You
Connie Francis 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

Overall Meaning

In "The Very Thought of You," Connie Francis sings about the power of love and how it can consume a person's thoughts and actions. When someone is deeply in love, the little mundane tasks of life seem insignificant in comparison to the overwhelming feeling they have for their beloved. Francis conveys this through the lyrics, "The very thought of you and I forget to do the little ordinary things that everyone ought to do." She goes on to describe how being consumed by thoughts of their love can make a person feel like they are in a daydream and as happy as a king. These sentiments may seem foolish to others, but to the person experiencing them, it is everything.


The chorus repeats the theme of the power of thought, "It's just the thought of you, the very thought of you, my love." The longing for their beloved is so strong that time seems to slow down until they are reunited. They see their love's face in everything from flowers to stars. The song highlights the all-consuming nature of love and the way it changes a person's perception of the world around them.
