Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
I say to myself, "You're such a lucky guy"
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true
Out of all the fellas in the world, she belongs to you
But it was just my imagination,
Running away with me
It was just my imagination,
Running away with me
Soon we'll be married and raise a family
A cozy little home, out in the country, with two children, maybe three
I tell you I can visualize it all
This couldn't be a dream, for too real it all seems
But it was just my imagination, once again
Running away with me
Tell you, it was just my imagination,
Running away with me
Every night, on my knees I pray
"Dear lord, hear my plea
Don't ever let another take her love from me
Or I will surely die"
Her love is heavenly
When her arms enfold me
I hear her tender rhapsody
But in reality, she doesn't even know me
It was just my imagination, once again
Running away with me
Oh, tell you, it was just my imagination,
Running away with me
I never met her, but I can't forget her
Just my imagination, yeah, yeah, yeah
Running away with me
Oooh, just my imagination,
Running away with me
(Fades)
