Pure Imagination - Live At Abbey Road Lyrics
Jamie Cullum
Lyrics
Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
What you'll find
When you look
Into your imagination
We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of my creation
Living there
You will see
What you truly wish to be
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
Nothing to it
There is no
Life I know
That compares to
Pure imagination
What you'll find
When you look
Into your imagination
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
Nothing to it
There is no
Life I know
That compares to
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be
