Say!
Imagine me and you,
I do,
I think about you day and night
It's only right,
To think about the girl you love
And hold her tight,
So happy together
If i should call you up,
Invest a dime
And you say you belong to me,
And ease my mind
Imagine how the world would be,
So very fine,
So happy together
(just like a big rock-show)

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you for all my life
When you're with me, baby,
The skies will be blue for all my life
(everybody sing along like a big rock-show, come on!)
Babababababababababababababa...
One more time!
Babababababababababababababa...

We'd like to thank you very much for comin' to our concert tonight
I know that ah...in a way it's sad that bill graham is closin'
Down the fillmore, but ah, i'm sure he'll get into somethin' better
It's been lovely, workin' for you this evenin'




Good night, good night, good night boys and girls!
Good night, good night boys and girls, good night!

Line by Line Meaning

Imagine me and you,
Picture a scenario where you and I are involved romantically,


I do,
I can see us being in love in this hypothetical situation,


I think about you day and night
You are constantly on my mind and I cannot help but ponder the possibility of us being together,


It's only right,
It feels natural and justified to have these feelings for you,


To think about the girl you love
It's appropriate to have thoughts and dreams about the woman you hold dear in your heart,


And hold her tight,
Embrace her affectionately, conveying your feelings of love and security,


So happy together
Being with each other fills us with immense joy and contentment,


If I should call you up,
In the event that I give you a ring,


Invest a dime
Put a coin into the public phone booth to make the call,


And you say you belong to me,
And you reciprocate my feelings by stating that you are mine,


And ease my mind
I feel a sense of reassurance and comfort when I hear that you feel the same way as I do,


Imagine how the world would be,
Visualize the beauty and positivity of the world if we were a couple,


So very fine,
It would be amazing and incredible to be together,


So happy together
Sharing our lives and experiences would be a source of overwhelming happiness for us,


I can't see me lovin' nobody but you for all my life
It's impossible for me to imagine loving anyone else but you for the rest of my days,


When you're with me, baby,
Having you by my side,


The skies will be blue for all my life
Makes my world a brighter and more colorful place for as long as I live,


(everybody sing along like a big rock-show, come on!)
Inviting the audience to join the performance enthusiastically just like a grand concert,

Singing nonsensical syllables joyfully,


One more time!
Asking the crowd to sing along one more time for greater fun,


We'd like to thank you very much for comin' to our concert tonight
Expressing gratitude towards the audience for attending the concert,


I know that ah...in a way it's sad that bill graham is closin'
Acknowledging the sad news of Bill Graham's closure,


Down the fillmore, but ah, I'm sure he'll get into somethin' better
Despite the closure of the Fillmore, it's believed that Bill Graham will find greener pastures in the future,


It's been lovely, workin' for you this evenin'
Expressing the joy of working for the audience during the evening's performance,


Good night, good night, good night boys and girls!
Bidding goodnight to the boys and girls in the audience with a triple repetition,


Good night, good night boys and girls, good night!
Repeating the farewell once again affectionately before ending the show on a high note.
