[Verse 1] Imagine all they gave, The sacrifice they made.. Imagine the lives they had to build. Work-worn hands and quiet hearts, their dreams kept still. They traded rest for safety, hunger for a home; By and by their mercy lingers, though they’re gone. (Imagine) [Refrain] Just Imagine By and by .... Can you imagine? [Verse 2] Imagine their sorrow, the weight time won’t show. My tears are small beside that pain... The pain they used to know. .. just imagine. Still they found a way to laugh, to sing, to see things through; By and by I’m thankful for all they went through. [Verse 3] Imagine their beginnings—the vows, the morning light. The joy of owning something earned, the peace that felt so right. By and by their laughter shines in those walls they made; Simple love & hope, the gifts that never fade. (Imagine, oh...can you imagine…) [Chorus] By and by imagine their joy, By and by their smiling eyes. Every heartbeat, every picture, Keeps their memory alive. By and by imagine that moment, The flash, the breath, the cheer— By and by they dreamed of tomorrow, And now we're here! [Final verse] Imagine the commotion when the photograph was done— Children whisper, neighbors crowd, the moment held by sun. (oh imagine…) By and by that light still glows, a spark of what could be; They imagined all that followed—and I imagine... ......THEY IMAGINED ME!!!! (Imagine… oh imagine…) [Outro – soft fade] By and by… imagine their dreaming. (Imagine) By and by… I image them...... By and by… ..... They imagined me.......... (Imagine… imagine
