Music Monday – The Very Thought of You
November 21, 2016
The song I’ve chosen for today is Nat King Cole’s “The Very Thought of You” from 1958, although the song goes back to Billie Holiday and 1934. I first heard it in the movie “Home For the Holidays” and I loved the song and the scene. The song is about how a person feels when they are in love – just thinking about that person makes their life so blissful. Even the music sounds like a daydream. I think most of us can relate tothose feelings whether it’s from a past relationship or a current one. So here for your listening pleasure – The Very Thought of You by Nat King Cole. Oh and go to YouTube for a real listen – it’s not to be missed.
They 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 everythingThe mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You’ll never know how slow the moments go ’til 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 loveThe mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You’ll never know how slow the moments go ’til 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
