Billie Holiday - The Very Thought Of You

The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia CD 4

Lyrics:

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

is it wrong for a 14 yr old to love an 1933 blue singer? I think not !

I come here to listen to a beautiful song. Instead I get shocked by a highly unrelated CoD commercial. Thanks youtube, I appreciate it.
