Everything But The Girl - Imagining America lyrics

rate me

Oh and how he loved you (oh and how he loved you)

Oh and you believed him (oh and you believed him)

He said you both deserved better (you deserve better)

And he would make it a real thing (make it a real thing)

And on a clear day

You can see the sea from your place

On a fine day

You can still remember his face

And 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

Waving from the quay you saw himI

It was a fine day

Standing with the world before him

And he just kept right on (oh he kept right on)

Imagining AmericaHe just kept right on (oh he kept right on)

Imagining America

Darling have no fear

The air is always clear

There are mountains and deserts and stars

The cities have been tamed

And they all know your name

They have money and houses and cars

And so I stand here (and so I stand here)

In his footsteps (in his footsteps)

We deserve better (we deserve better)

And I can make it a real thing (make it a real thing)

Its a clear dayHold me in a final embraceIts a fine day

But will the world remember our face

And I just keep right onImagining America

We keep on

We keep on

We keep imagining America

America, America
