Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Each day, through my window
I watch her as she passes by
And I say to myself
You're such a lucky guy
[Verse 2]
To have a girl like her
It's truly a dream come true
Out of all the fellas in the world
She belongs to you
[Verse 3]
But it was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
It was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me, ooh
[Verse 4]
(Soon) Soon we'll be married
And raise a family (Oh, yeah)
In a cozy little home out in the country
With two children, maybe three
[Verse 5]
I tell you, I
I can visualize it all
This couldn't be a dream
For too real it all seems
[Verse 6]
But it was just my imagination (Once again)
Runnin' away with me, yeah
Tell you, it was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
[Verse 7]
Every night, on my knees I pray
(Dear Lord) Oh, hear my plea
Don't ever let another take her love from me
Or I will (Surely die) I will surely die
Oh, her love is heavenly
When her arms enfold me
I hear a tender rhapsody
But it in reality, yeah
She doesn't really know me
[Verse 8]
Just my imagination (Oh, it was)
(Runnin' away with me) Ooh
Runnin', runnin' (Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin')
Just my imagination (Imagination)
Runnin' away with me
(Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin')
(You don't even know my name)
[Verse 9]
Just my imagination (Whoa-ooh)
(It was just my imagination)
Runnin' away with me
(Runnin', runnin' away, oh)
Just my imagination (No, no, no, no, no)
Runnin' away with me (run away with me)
(Runnin', oh, oh-ooh)
Know it was (Oh yes it was)
Runnin' away with me (Runnin' away with me, yeah)
Hmm, just my (Imagination)
Just my
(Runnin' away with me)
