The Very Thought Of You
Ray Hartley piano with David Terry 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
The lyrics to Ray Hartley's The Very Thought of You speaks of the power of love and how the very thought of someone special can fill one's life with happiness and meaning. The song talks about how when one is in love, every little mundane thing becomes insignificant, and they find themselves living in a sort of daydream. The singers' happiness is palpable, and they feel like a king, despite how foolish it may seem to others.
The second verse speaks of their longing for their love, and how time seems to slow down until they are together. They confess that they see their love's face in everything, in every flower and star above. The mere thought of their love is enough to fill their hearts with joy and contentment. This song speaks of how the power of love can change the way we view the world around us, and how it can fill our lives with meaning and beauty.

I'm praying for all of my brothers & sisters out there, dealing with depression.....
I'm dealing with, as we speak, generational curses.....
& What is really helping me, is to realize that even though we may see a cloud of gray, there is ALSO a thing called MERCY & GODS GRACE, to pull us out....
Sadly, sometimes we all don't make it, but for the ones out there fighting now, what really helps me, is to KNOW, that there is ALWAYS someone else who is going through WORSE....
NO MATTER WHAT (MY CIRCUMSTANCES) MAY BE!!
Then I watch these stories of people HUMBLING themselves & you have to WANT out of depression, you can't pray it away....
Faith without action is dead.....
I hope this helps someone, thank you for this beautiful video!!🤞🙏💪🫶🙌

If you ever need someone to speak too please reply to my comment and we can exchange FB or emails etc and I'm always here if you need to talk my friend
You're doing good ...
Not turning to drugs or alcohol is by far the very best thing you can do for urself and sadly way too many ppl lose themselves after losing someone they love because they turn to the wrong outlets to face whatever they're grieving... Everyday even if you don't notice it you're getting a little bit stronger and while you're heart will never be the same you WILL learn how to live with this new way of life if you make the choice too...
You got this 🎉

@Stranger_in_the_Alps. Your pain in palpable. My heart goes out to you. Depression is SO DIFFICULT. While you are walking in darkness please know there is light ahead. It may feel like there will never be a light. It took a long time for me to find that light but, I did FIND IT. You will find it. Please hold tight. Allow yourself the bad days. Search for the good days. You are in my prayers. Please know that you are not alone. There are so many out here who truly care about you. Please don’t ever forget that.

I lost my sister last year. The only thing that keeps me going is the fact that my niece is now my responsibility.
