Lyrics

The ver y (C)thought of you,

and I for get to do

the lit tle (Dm7)or di nar y (C6)things that ev ’ry one (D7)ought to do.

I’m liv ing (Dm7)in a (G7)kind of (B)day dream,

(E7)I’m (Am)hap py (Am7)as a (F#)king,

(B7)and (Em7)fool ish (Eb7)though it (D7)may seem

to (Dm7)me,

that’s ev ’ry (Fm6)thing.

The mere i (C)dea of you,

the long ing here for you.

You’ll nev er (Dm7)know how slow the (C6)mo ments go till I’m (D7)near to you.

I see your (Dm7)face in (G7)ev ’ry (B)flow er,

(E7)your (Am)eyes in (Am7)stars a (F#)bove.

It’s just the (Em7)thought of you, the ver y (Dm7)thought of you,

(G13)my (Db6/9)love.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "The Very Thought Of You" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature C, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 80 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
