Billy Eckstine

William Clarence Eckstine (July 8, 1914 – March 8, 1993) was an American singer of ballads and a bandleader of the swing era. Eckstine's smooth baritone and distinctive vibrato broke down barriers throughout the 1940s, first as leader of the original bop big-band, then as the first romantic black male in popular music. Eckstine's recording of "I Apologize" (MGM Pop Single, 1948) was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999. 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 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
