Oh, and how he loved you

Oh, and how he loved you

Oh, and you believed him

Oh, and you believed him

You said you both deserve better

You both deserve better

Could make it a real thing

Could make it a real thing



On a clear day

You can see the sea from your place

On a fine day

You can still remember his face



He just kept right on...

Imagining America

He just kept right on...

Imagining America



And he was so handsome

He was so handsome

It was 1919

It was 1919

Sailing to New York

Sailing to New York

Just for you

Just for you



It was a clear day

Waiting from the quay, saw him

Was a fine day

Standing with the world before him



He just kept right on...

Imagining America

He just kept right on...

Imagining America



Don't he have no feelings...

always feel like mountains

and deserts and stars

Cities have been tamed

and they all know your name

They have money

and houses and cars



(sax solo)



So I stand here

So I stand here

In his footsteps

In his footsteps

We deserve better

We deserve better

And I can make it a real thing

And I can make it a real thing



It's a clear day

It's a clear day

Only in a final embrace

Only in a final embrace

It's a fine day

It's a fine day

The world remember our face...

The world remember our face...



And I just kept right on...

Imagining America

And I just kept right on...

Imagining America



We keep on, we keep

Imagining America, America
