Imagination
Stan Getz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Magic mirror come and search my heart
Can you tell me what you see
There's a thousand voices whispering
Songs and you're the melody

So I imagine my heart with you
See what imagination can do
It's not hard to conceive
Love ecstasy imagining you with me

Many, many days our shadows passed
Seeing visions of a new bright horizon
Set the morning light
And that morning light is you
So I imagine my heart with you

See what imagination can do
It's not hard to conceive
love ecstasy imagining you, imagining me
The beauty we both can see

You're the dream I prayed would come along
To make my fantasy




Day and night you live inside my heart
You're the flame of love to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Stan Getz's song "Imagination" express a sense of yearning and longing for love, and the power of imagination to bring that love to life. The opening lines speak to a heart in search of answers, asking a "magic mirror" to reveal the true desires hidden within. The idea of a thousand "whispering" voices suggests a sense of confusion or indecision, perhaps representing the various options or possibilities that the heart is considering. However, despite the uncertainty of these voices, the singer is certain that this special person is the "melody" that will bring harmony and clarity to their life.


Throughout the song, the singer presents a vision of two people united in love, able to overcome any obstacles or challenges through the power of their shared imagination. The lyrics reference "visions of a new bright horizon," painting an image of hope and possibility. Similarly, the use of "morning light" suggests the dawning of a new day, a fresh start, and a chance for love to flourish. The repetition of the phrase "imagine my heart with you" reinforces the idea that imagining a life together is both necessary and powerful in creating a lasting relationship.


Overall, "Imagination" speaks to the transformative power of love and the importance of vision and imagination in nurturing that love. The song suggests that it is not enough to simply desire love - one must be willing to dream, imagine, and envision a life together in order for that love to truly thrive.
