[Verse 1]
The very thought of you
And I forget to do
The little ordinary things
That everyone ought to do

[Verse 2]
I'm living in a kind of daydream
But yes, I’m happy as a king
And foolish though I may seem
To me, she's everything

[Verse 3]
The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go
Until I’m near to you
Oh baby

[Verse 4]
I see your face in every flower
And your eyes in stars above
It's just the very thought of you
My love
