I Can't Imagine
Aaron Neville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd still be wondering through this world without a clue
At night I wake up and look across the bed
And you never think that crazy things
Were running through my head.
I can't imagine
Our journey through this world without you
Soul how could there ever be a greater love than ours
I can't imagine
Oh oh
I want to wrap you like a present in my arms
Give you to myself and keep you safe from harm
My every moment devoted to your care I don't even
Want to think how I survived without you here
I can't imagine
Our journey through this world without you
I'm loving everything about you I search my heart and
Soul how could there ever be a greater love than ours
I can't imagine
Shared my life with any other
I'm making love with you I can't imagine
I search my heart and soul how could there ever be
A greater love than ours
Let me tempt you and deliver
Let me make you feel the open road
I'll make your blood run like the river
How could it be, be better than to ever
Love you more
I can't imagine
Our journey through this world without you
I'm loving everything about you I search my heart and
Soul how could there ever be a greater love than ours
I can't imagine

Line by Line Meaning
You know I wondered where I be if not for you
I often ponder where I would have ended up if we hadn't met
I'd still be wondering through this world without a clue
I would still be clueless and lost in this world
At night I wake up and look across the bed
During the night, I wake up and see you lying beside me
And you never think that crazy things
You never realize that I have crazy thoughts in my head
Were running through my head.
That run through my mind.
I can't imagine
I am unable to fathom
Our journey through this world without you
How our journey through life would have been without you
I'm loving everything about you I search my heart and
I adore everything about you and reflect on our love in my heart and soul
Soul how could there ever be a greater love than ours
There cannot be a stronger love love than ours
Oh oh
Exclamation of emotion
I want to wrap you like a present in my arms
I want to hold you tightly in my arms as a cherished gift
Give you to myself and keep you safe from harm
I want to protect you from any danger and keep you to myself
My every moment devoted to your care I don't even
I dedicate every moment to take care of you, I cannot even
Want to think how I survived without you here
Fathom how my life was before you arrived
Shared my life with any other
I wouldn't have chosen to share my life with anyone else
I'm making love with you I can't imagine
I am with the partner I am meant to be with, I cannot fathom
I search my heart and soul how could there ever be
I reflect on my love for you within my heart and soul; there could never be
A greater love than ours
A more intense or powerful love than ours
Let me tempt you and deliver
Let me tantalize and provide for you
Let me make you feel the open road
Let me show you the vast possibilities of life
I'll make your blood run like the river
I'll make your heart race with emotion and passion
How could it be, be better than to ever
How could there ever be anything better than
Love you more
Loving you even more
