My friend,
I imagine you.
I imagine you a long way away.
I imagine you upon yet another sunny day.
I imagine you in California.
I imagine you in Malibu, sat upon the beach,
I imagine you, watching the world go by,
watching the world go by with a smile,
and with no cares in the world,
no, none at all for it is much better that way,
a better way of life,
and I,
I wish for it too,
and yet here I am married to you my childhood sweetheart,
but although I am happy,
I do ponder upon the meaning of life,
and the possibilities that could have been,
for there are so many choices in this world,
so many choices that are left alone,
and that never become reality,
and my friend I often imagine you,
I imagine you all that way away,
I imagine you upon yet another sunny day.
I imagine you in California.
I imagine you in Malibu, sat upon the beach.
I imagine you watching the world go by,
watching the world go by with a smile,
and with no cares in the world,
no, none at all and I sigh a wistful sigh,
a wistful sigh over what could have been,
for it was once a dream,
but now, you are living it for me,
and I can come on holiday to see you,
but who knows,
maybe life will not work out and I will be alone,
alone once more,
and maybe I will be headed for California,
to sit upon the beach at Malibu,
in a new life that I had never contemplated before,
and life is mostly chance,
and well, what are the chances of me in Malibu,
well, I am not truly sure,
but I am happy for now with you,
happy I am sure,
happy, I am sure.
