The Very Thought of You
The Hot Club of San Francisco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I forget to do
The little ordinary things
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, like stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very though of you
My love
The Hot Club of San Francisco's song The Very Thought of You is a romantic and dreamy piece that perfectly captures the feeling of being completely swept away by the mere thought of someone. The lyrics describe how the mere thought of this person can make the singer forget about all their everyday worries and duties, and how being near them makes time seem to slow down. It is clear that this person means everything to the singer and the mere idea of them brings immense joy and contentment. The last stanza is particularly poignant, as the singer sees their love reflected in everything around them, from flowers to stars. This is a beautifully crafted love song that speaks to the heart of anyone who has ever been deeply in love.

The very thought of you
The mere idea of you
And I forget to do
The longing here for you is so strong that it distracts me from simple tasks
The little ordinary things
Everyday tasks that are part of normal life
Everyone ought to do
Tasks that are expected of every person
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I am lost in thoughts of you
I'm happy as a king
My feelings are so strong that I am content, like royalty
And foolish though it may seem
To others, my feelings for you may seem irrational or foolish
To me, that's everything
But to me, thinking about you is everything
You'll never know how slow the moments go
Time passes slowly without you
'Till I'm near to you
Until I am close to you
I see your face in every flower
Images of you are present in all of nature
Your eyes, like stars above
Your eyes are bright and beautiful, like the stars in the sky
It's just the thought of you
My thoughts of you are powerful and all-consuming
The very though of you
The mere idea of you
My love
The depth of my affection for you
