The Very Thought of You

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
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

The Very Thought of You
Ray Noble
* The version I remember most was by Nat King Cole

I heard this song this morning and it's been in my head all day. Was that just a romantic era?  Does that kind of romance still exist?  I guess it's something that I always wanted, but never had.  I came close once... a long time ago but somewhere along the line things change and you can never quite get them back. 

I feel very old tonight.
