I don't need your photograph to keep by my bed
Your picture is always in my head

I don't need you portrait dear to call you to mind

For sleeping or waking dear I find

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 queen
And foolish though it may seem

To me that's everything

The mere idea of you

The longing I hear 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 I hear 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

It's just the thought of you my love

My love

My love
