Imagine,John Lennon's most famous song,was recently voted"Britain's favourite song of all time".It's an idealistic song about peace and hope for a better world.
"Imagine all the people living life in peace."The song was a big hit in 1971,and again in 1980 when Lennon was murdered in New York.It became a hit for a third time after the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001.
But who really wrote the song?Until recently the answer to this question was always John Lennon.But on a TV programme this week Lennon's wife,Yoko Ono,spoke for the first time about how she,in fact,helped to write the song.
Ono said that the idea and inspiration for Imagine came from some of her poems that John Lennon was reading at that time.The poems began with the word"Imagine":"Imagine a raindrop,Imagine a goldfish."Ono said,"When I was a child in Japan during the Second World War my brother and I were terribly hungry.I imagined delicious menus for him and he began to smile.If you think something is impossible,you can imagine it and make it happen."
In an interview just before he died,Lennon admitted that Yoko deserved credit for Imagine.He said,"A lot of it-the lyrics and the concept-came from her,from her book of poems,imagine this,imagine that".Lennon said that he was"too macho"to share the credit with her at the time.
Ono said that some of the song was written when they were flying across the Atlantic and the rest was written on the piano in their bedroom at their home in England.Ono said,"The song speaks about John's dream for the world.It was something he really wanted to say."Imagine became a popular song for peace activists everywhere.
In March 2002 the airport in his home town of Liverpool was re-named John Lennon Airport.A sign above the main entrance has a line from Imagine:"Above us only sky".

I chanced a glance at you
from across the crowded room
and that was when I noticed
you were looking at me too
we both know this shouldn't happen
its a road we've been down before
and the only way it ever ends
is with you walking out the door
so I wish someone would explain to me
why I'm still rooted in place
staring in the direction
of just another lonely face
my mind is screaming at me to run
while my heart asks me to stay
for a moment I dont know what to do
and if its a price I'm willing to pay
we both know this is wrong
the love that we share
but we also know that wont stop us
because to find this kind of love is rare
