The Very Thought of You
Lew Stone & 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 Lew Stone & His Orchestra's "The Very Thought of You", the singer is caught in the blissful haze of love, with their every thought consumed by the object of their affection. The singer declares that merely the thought of their lover is enough to make them forget about their daily responsibilities and feel as happy as a king. They acknowledge that this may seem foolish to others, but it is everything to them. The mere idea of being with their lover fills them with a deep longing that makes time seem to slow down until they can be together. The singer sees their lover's face in every flower and their eyes in the stars above. The very thought of their lover is all-consuming, and they declare it to be the most important thing in their life.
The lyrics of this song capture the feeling of being completely swept away by love. The singer's words evoke a sense of daydreaming and longing for their lover, and the simple images of flowers and stars emphasize the all-encompassing nature of their affection. The sentiment of forgetting about ordinary things and feeling like a king in love is relatable and timeless.

I don't need your photograph to keep by my bed
Your picture is always in my head
I don't need you portrait, dear, to bring you to mind
For sleeping or waking, I find
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
And I'm happy as a king
And foolish, though it may seem
Why, 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

Just listening to this video of ours again, the first time in a year or so - such a lovely tune and what a cracking pianist too!
@mrgreatbritain
British Pathé thanks for this rare footage of Al! It means so much to us fans stuck in this generation far ahead of his to see him in action. Putting a live performance to the voice. Monia was amazing too. Love the chemistry between them

Can you please add this version on Spotify?
@binkydrumms
Monia was in my mind, the perfect Pianist for Al, could always play a line that fit in perfectly.
