Ladies Love Lyrics: "The Very Thought Of You"

Nancy Wilson has one of the most recognizable voices in jazz. She is a legend and an icon. I have been a fan since she played Martin's mother on "The Cosby Show." She sang on an episode and I was hooked. This is one of my favorite songs by her. The lyrics are so soulful. Her voice cannot be denied.

"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"
