The Very Thought of You
Rick Nelson · Rick Nelson Box Set [Legacy] [2000]
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 it'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 on every flower your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you the very thought of you my love music.
--- Instrumental ---
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 on every flower your eyes in strars above
It's just the thought of you, the very thought of you my love.
It's just the thought of you the very thought of you my love...
The Very Thought of You
Rick Nelson's 1963 recording of "The Very Thought of You" stands as a quintessential example of his smooth, baroque pop style that defined the early 1960s. Released on Decca Records, the track showcases Nelson's signature vocal delivery, characterized by a gentle, romantic tone that perfectly complements the lush orchestral arrangement. The song became a staple of his discography, appearing on various compilations and reissues, including the 2000 "Rick Nelson Box Set [Legacy]". It reflects the era's fascination with romantic ballads and Nelson's ability to blend pop sensibilities with a polished, professional sound that appealed to a wide audience. As part of his broader catalog of hits and covers, this recording remains a cherished piece of his musical legacy.
