Classic Poem

VERSE 1

I don't need your photograph
To keep by my bed;
Your picture is always in my head.
I don't need your portrait, dear,
To call you to mind,
For sleeping or waking, dear, I find:

REFRAIN

The very thought of you,
And I forget to do
The little ordinary things
That ev'ryone ought to do.
I'm living in a kind of daydream,
I'm happy as a king.
And foolish tho' it may seem,
To me that's ev'rything.
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 ev'ry flower,
Your eyes in stars above.
It's just the thought of you,
The very thought of you, my love.

VERSE 2

I hold you responsible,
I'll take it to law,
I never felt like this before.
I'm suing for damages,
Excuses won't do,
I'll only be satisfied with you.

REPEAT REFRAIN
