[Verse 1]
(Oh, and how he loved you)
Oh, and how he loved you
(Oh, and you believed him)
Oh, and you believed him
(You said you both deserve better)
You deserve better
(And he could make it a real thing)
Make it a real thing

[Pre-Chorus]
On a clear day
You can see the sea from your place
On a fine day
You can still remember his face

[Chorus]
And he just kept right on
Imagining America
And he just kept right on
Imagining America

[Verse 2]
(And he was so handsome)
And he was so handsome
(It was 1919)
It was 1919
(Sailing to New York)
Sailing to New York
(Just for you)
Just for you

[Pre-Chorus]
It was a clear day
Waving from the quay, you saw him
It was a fine day
Standing with the world before him

[Chorus]
And he just kept right on (Oh he kept right on)
Imagining America (Oh)
And he just kept right on (Oh he kept right on)
Imagining America

[Bridge]
"Darling have no fear
The air is always clear
There are mountains and deserts and stars
The cities have been tamed
And they all know your name
They have money and houses and cars"

[Verse 3]
(And so I stand here)
So I stand here
(In his footsteps)
In his footsteps
(We deserve better)
We deserve better
(And I can make it a real thing)
Make it a real thing

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a clear day
Only in a final embrace
It's a fine day
Will the world remember our face?

[Chorus]
And I just keep right on (Keep right on)
Imagining America (Imagining)
And I just keep right on (Keep right on)
Imagining America (Keep right on)

[Outro]
We keep on, we keep on
We keep imagining America, America, America
We keep on, we keep on
We keep imagining America, America, America
We just keep right on
