Imagine
Petula Clark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And today, he called me, imagine
Wants to take me dancing, imagine
Just imagine these things
He thinks I am lovely, imagine
Wants to know me better, imagine
When he smiles, my poor heart has wings
It must be more than fascination
This is a pure intoxication
For I am reeling, amazed by a feeling
That's real, incredibly real
And he knew I loved him, imagine
Knew at once, I loved him, imagine
I'll be his forever, imagine
Of the joy that loving him reels
Imagine, imagine
Just imagine these things
The lyrics to Petula Clark's song Imagine describe the excitement and joy of falling in love. The singer recounts meeting someone and being contacted by them the next day, with the possibility of going dancing. She is overcome with emotion, feeling an intense connection to this person. The lyrics convey a sense of disbelief and amazement that this kind of love can exist, with the singer feeling like her heart has wings. The line "It must be more than fascination" suggests that this is not just a passing interest, but a deep and powerful connection.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more sure of her feelings, stating that she loves this person and will be with them forever. The repetition of the word "imagine" throughout the song emphasizes the idea that this kind of love may seem too good to be true, and yet it is real and possible. The final line, "Just imagine these things," invites the listener to join in the singer's experience of joy and wonder.
