The Very Thought Of You
Noble Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 call you to mind
For sleeping or waking, dear, 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
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

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," Noble Ray sings of the all-consuming power of love. With every thought of his beloved, he is transported into a world where ordinary tasks pale in comparison to the joy that fills his heart. The very idea of her existence is enough to make his heart race, and he cannot help but daydream about her constantly. Ray underscores the intensity of his emotions by referencing the natural world, where he sees his love's face in every flower and her eyes in the stars above.


The lyrics also highlight the slow passage of time when one is apart from one's beloved. Every moment without her seems unbearable, and it is only in her presence that time begins to feel like it is moving forward again. In the end, the lyrics emphasize the transformative power of love. The mere thought of someone can change an entire world, and for Ray, the very thought of his love is all he needs to feel complete.
