The Very Thought of You - Billie Holiday

First heard this song in the movie Forever Young and have been hooked to Billie's voice ever since...

The very thought of you and
I forget to do
Those little ordinary things
That everyone ought to do
I'm livin' 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 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

I have always dreamed of singing this song to my husband on our wedding day. That's always been my plan. But, I just turned 30. And I've pretty much given up on the notion that I will be married someday. Still love the song!
