Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello (born Declan Patrick MacManus, 25 August 1954) is an English singer-songwriter. He began his career as part of London's pub rock scene in the early 1970s and later became associated with the first wave of the British punk/New Wave movement of the mid-to-late 1970s. Steeped in word play, the vocabulary of Costello's lyrics is broader than that of most popular songs. His music has drawn on many diverse genres; one critic described him as a "pop encyclopaedia", able to "reinvent the past in his own image". more »

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 year 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 eye in stars above
It`s just the thought of you
The very thought of you
My love

The mere idea of you
The longing year 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 eye in stars above
It`s just the thought of you
The very thought of you
My love
