Ray Cooper

Lyrics

(soft piano/Rhodes, humming ad-libs)
Mmm… yeah…
Somewhere the light is holdin’ you
I close my eyes, and I feel it too…
Sarah… wherever you are tonight
[Verse 1]
(lead, intimate and low)
Streets don’t feel the same, no, no
Since you slipped out of my atmosphere
I keep the candle burnin’ slow
Prayin’ you’ll show up right here
Time move so slow, girl, when you’re out my reach
(bg: “out my reach…”)
But I still hear your laugh, caught up on repeat
(bg: “still hear you…”)
[Chorus]
(fuller, soaring but soulful)
I can only imagine, and I hope that you’re fine
(bg: “hope you’re fine…”)
Countin’ up the stars, wonder if you countin’ mine
And I keep on searchin’, keep on laughin’ through the rain
(bg: “through the rain, ooh”)
Sarah… say my name… say my name again
[Verse 2]
Got your picture folded soft, next to my heart
Every memory read like a letter in the dark
People ask me how I’m holdin’ on
I just smile, tell ‘em girl ain’t really gone
‘Cause love like this don’t fade with time, no
(bg: “no, no, no”)
It just waits patient, somewhere in my mind
[Chorus]
I can only imagine, and I hope that you’re fine
(bg: “hope you’re fine…”)
Countin’ up the stars, wonder if you countin’ mine
And I keep on searchin’, keep on laughin’ through the rain
(bg: “through the rain”)
Sarah… say my name… say my name again
[Bridge]
(strip back to just vocals + bg, building)
Lead: If you can hear me…
BG: (echo) hear me…
Lead: Send me a sign…
BG: (echo) a sign…
Lead: Little proof that you still mine
BG: (harmonies swell) still mine, still mine…
Lead: I’ll keep the faith, I’ll keep the light
I’ll keep on lovin’ you every, every night
[Chorus]
I can only imagine, and I hope that you’re fine
Lead: Still searchin’, still laughin’, you’re on my mind, girl
BG: (fading) Sarah… say my name…
