Song Meaning
JJ Heller's rendition of "The Very Thought of You" is a tender love song that expresses deep longing and affection. The lyrics describe how the mere thought of a loved one makes everyday tasks fade away, filling the singer with joy and a dreamlike happiness. The song uses romantic imagery, such as seeing the beloved's face in flowers and eyes in stars, to convey an all-consuming devotion. While the original is a classic standard, Heller's version carries a gentle, intimate feel. The song focuses on human romantic love rather than explicit Christian themes, though its themes of devotion and longing can resonate with spiritual yearnings.

The very thought of you and I'll forget to do
Those little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living 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
[Instrumental Interlude]
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 thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
