This is one of my all-time favourite old song!! I never get tired listening to it.
I think the very original is by Ray Noble (?) but the song itself was later sung by many other singers like Chet Baker and Nat King Cole. The version I love most is by Ella Fitzgerald! Since I can't find her version in youtube, I've attached Ray Noble's.

The Very Thought Of You
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
