Nat King Cole - The Very Thought Of You Lyrics






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 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 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

  21. M.... D....

    i am amazed at how handsome he was, and how creamy rich brown his skin was. how or why did they insist on blackening his face, while putting heavy pasty white pancake makeup on themselves. what a sick and sad generation.

    Nat King Cole will remain echoing his His Voice and Music in Our Universe !

  28. s.... ....

    a simply beautiful song, the smooth tempo, the chord progression, the coaxing strings @1:00 seem to plead for him to keep singing, before they fill the bridge with that wonderful romantic melody that peak just short of crying and settles into the most lovely interlude. this song is pure romance without being vulgar simply beautiful!

  29. M.... G....

  43. a.... m....

    The Very Thought of You !!!!!!! I just love the songs !!!!!!!

  44. A.... C....

    This great man---Mr. Nathaniel Adams Coles would have turned 100 this past March 17, 2019 so I searched Google that day, expecting him to be the "google" celebrity or whatever they call it when you google something---and he wasn't. I checked the internet the entire day and night to find any reference to Mr. Cole's 100 birthday and found almost nothing.
    Then I realized that today's spoiled kids look down upon Mr. Cole who they consider a "sell out" because they feel he did not do enough to help Blacks achieve civil rights in those times. Mr. Cole died in 1965--of lung cancer. He was one of---if not the greatest singer of his era. NO ONE sings "Stardust" or "The very thought of you" like Nat Cole. He played the piano, he was also an actor.
    He began his career at age 18, playing piano and singing in a trio he organized.
    Unfortunately---NO ONE from today's society can possibly know what it was like for Nat Cole to "hit the road" in 1937 at age 18.
    They are judging Mr. Cole with their eyes--the eyes of 2019, 80 years later
    At first, I was angry that today's society has so mistreated Nat Cole's legacy, but then after a minute I gave it further thought and realized-- "Who really cares what ANYONE thinks about Mr. Cole" They cannot TAKE AWAY or ADD to his life or anyone else's-- NO ONE HAS THAT POWER

    A.... C....

    You have certainly said it all, Anthony. NKC was definitely one of the greatest singers of the twentieth century. No one surpassed him as a performer of ballads. Those of us who grew up on his music will never forget him.

  45. C.... M....

    NOT working for you, Properly.

  46. c.... d....

    Beautiful😊❤👍what a voice💋

  47. C.... S....

    Truly the King..

  53. c.... ....

    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

  71. A.... R....

    Sublime♥

  72. r.... e....

    Nat's voice has a magical quality.

  73. 6.... ....

    I forgot the name of this song from Little Manhattan this was song during the confession scene at the end it was one of the few tearjerker moments

  74. G.... ....

    This is superb! The best! Such smoothness in voice and great orchestration! Also check out the YouTube black & white video clip of Doris Day (May she rest in peace) in the 1950 movie "Young Man With a Horn". It's great, with Doris singing "The Very Thought of You" with Kirk Douglas on the horn and Hoagy Carmichael on the piano. Great movie and a great version of this song. Nat and Doris both have smooth styles and are perfect for this song. Another that I like is Nancy Willson on YouTube in a 1964 live performance at the Hollywood Palace. On this song Nancy puts a lot of feeling and has a great intro to this song. Check it out.

  75. J.... C....

  78. B.... M....

    Robert Plant was once asked to select a "desert island song" - one song to have on an island. He said "The Very Thought of You" by Nat King Cole. He was asked why? His reply was "because it's perfect." That says it all. Absolutely flawless in every respect.
