這首歌我非常喜歡。
我把它翻成：非常想念你。
主唱者是爵士樂的『祖媽』：黑人女歌手，Billie Holiday.
她的歷史可能比你阿媽甚至阿祖老還老(1915-1959)。
我是在1992年在加拿大看了梅爾吉伯遜主演的一部文藝片(Forever Young)，對片中的劇情用此歌為串場主軸印象深刻，年輕時對劇中男女愛情的感動至今。
當時沒有網路，英文也沒那麼好，只能從有限的資訊及英聽能力去拼湊歌詞。
拜網路之賜，完整歌詞如下：
The Very Thought Of You
Billie Holiday
The very thought of you
And I 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
(Repeat *)
我會再找時間介紹Billie Holiday.
