Imagination
Eddie Lovette Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

tonight, it's so right
to love, and be loved, by you
since I can't be with you all the time
girl, I play the game in my mind

oh you're my, precious love
my first love
you're the one I plan to build my life around
since there's no certain length of time
girl, that'll be just fine, with me

imagination, imagination
imagination, imagination

imagine me with you, every hour of the day
loving you in a certain kind of way
can you understand what I'm trying to say
you're like a bundle of cotton in my arms
girl you're ripping me off with your charm
imagine waking each morning with you
in my life
in my life
oh at night, I close my eyes
and I imagine I, loving you
loving you and hugging you
hugging you and kissing you
whoa and making you, so very happy

oh you're my, precious love
my first love
you're the one I plan to build my life around
since there's no certain length of time
girl, that'll be just fine, with me

Overall Meaning

The song "Imagination" by Eddie Lovette is a heartfelt ballad that expresses the deep love and longing of the singer to be with his beloved. The opening lyrics "tonight, it's so right to love, and be loved, by you" set the tone for a romantic and passionate expression of love. The singer imagines being with his love all the time, but since he cannot, he plays the game in his mind. He refers to her as his precious love and his first love, which indicates that their love story is special and significant. The singer plans to build his life around his love, and he does not mind if there is no certain length of time for them to be together, as long as he can imagine being with her.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the power of imagination in bringing two people together, even if they are physically apart. "Imagination, imagination" is repeated twice, which reinforces the central theme of the song. The second verse describes the singer's vivid imagination of being with his love every hour of the day, loving her in a certain kind of way. He compares her to a bundle of cotton in his arms, and her charm rips him off. The singer yearns to wake up every morning with his love in his life, and this longing drives his imagination. The sax solo in the middle of the song emphasizes the emotional intensity of the singer's feelings.
