The Very Thought of You was written by Ray Noble in 1934 and covered by so many great musicians.

Monday evening session with Chris. Thanks for playing this sweet old song which you know as TVTOY. Now, here's the story of this tune from Wiki:
"The Very Thought of You" is a pop standard that was recorded and published in 1934 with music and lyrics by Ray Noble. The song was first recorded by Ray Noble and His Orchestra with Al Bowlly on vocals for HMV in England in April 1934. This record was then released in the United States by Victor, and it reached number one for five weeks on the pop music charts.[5] ...
