Very Thought of You
Diane Schuur 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
The lyrics of Diane Schuur's song "Very Thought of You" express the overwhelming feelings of infatuation and obsession for someone special. The singer admits that the mere thought of the person she loves is enough to make her forget about the mundane, everyday tasks that she should be doing. She is living in a dreamlike state, feeling as happy as a king, and considers the thought of the person she loves as everything to her.
The second verse continues in the same vein, with the singer admitting that her longing for this special someone makes time go incredibly slow until she is near them. She sees them everywhere, in every flower, and in every star above, consumed by the mere thought of them. This song is a celebration of a love that is all-consuming, with every thought and feeling directed towards the adored person.

The very thought of you and I forget to do
Your mere thought makes me forget all the ordinary things I should be doing
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
The everyday tasks that are expected of me
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I am entranced by the thought of you, and it feels like I'm living in a dream state
I'm happy as a king
I am feeling extremely content and joyous
And foolish though it may seem
This may be perceived as irrational or illogical

To me, this feeling is all-encompassing and the most important thing
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
Just the thought and desire for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
Time seems to go by at a snail's pace until you're in my presence
I see your face in every flower
Your image is imprinted in my mind, and I see it in everything around me
Your eyes in stars above
I see your eyes in the beauty of the night sky
It's just the thought of you
All it takes is the thought of you to stir up these emotions in me
The very thought of you, my love
Your mere thought, my love, is what brings me such joy
