[Verse 1]
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

[Verse 2]
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace (you-u-u)

[Chorus]
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

[Verse 3]
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the pеople
Sharing all the world (you-u-u)

[Chorus]
You may say I'm a dreamеr
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Desmond “Des” O'Connor (12 January 1932 – 14 November 2020) was an English comedian, singer and television presenter. He recorded a total of 36 albums and had four top-ten UK singles, including the number-one hit single “I Pretend”, which sold over 16 million copies worldwide.

O'Connor entered the show-biz world in the 1950s, and prior to his break on television, he would perform professionally on stages as a singer and a comedian. He was also paid to host variety shows, which set him up for a success when he became a talk-show host a few years later (The Des O'Connor Show, Des O'Connor Tonight, and more).

In 1958, when Buddy Holly toured the UK, Des O'Connor was paid £100 per week to be the show’s compère.
