I Imagine

I Imagine

I imagine you're happy, happy enough, I guess
As happy as you can be in a world without my mess
I imagine you're pushing it hard, working it all out
Finding solutions to every problem you've found, no doubt
And I imagine your unrest, your quest, your fight
To do your best, to do it once, to do it right
Yeah. I can imagine. As it was always your way
And I imagine you're still loyal to yourself and the kids
And how you could never ever spoil yourself like I did
And I imagine all the days have treated you well
And how although you might have missed me, you would never tell
But I imagine, I just imagine you may
Sometimes you can drift by like a ghost that suddenly appears
Yes, I imagine you always but most, I imagine you here

I imagine you read the last email I sent
I imagine in your head you might've measured my intent
How I might've seen myself in a more responsible light
And though the past is the past, it can never be forgotten; yeah, right?
And I imagine you detected a reticent tone
And how our lives have been affected by our lives on our own
How I was miles away but somehow still close
I imagine you seeing what it was in me you chose
And I imagine your smile, your eyes in the glow
Of the evening twilight so long ago
I remember you so, a vision so clear
But I imagine you most, I imagine you here

Imagination runs wild, it runs wild out here
All this distance and all this resistance I fear
But I imagine you still holding me dear
And I imagine one day my ghost will appear
Yeah, I imagine you here
