Lyrics, 'The Very Thought of You' (1934) written by Ray Noble. (Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday, Tony Bennett & Doris Day).

The very thought of you 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 queen
And foolish though it may seem
To me it'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

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
