Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I look out my window watch her as she passes by
I say to myself I'm such a lucky guy
To have a girl like her is a dream come true
And of all the girls in New York she loves me true
I tell you
[Verse 2]
It was just my imagination, (Once again)
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me
[Verse 3]
Soon we'll be married and raise a family
Two boys for you, what about two girls for me
I tell you I am just a fellow with a one track mind
Whatever it is I want baby I seek and I shall find
I'll tell you
[Verse 4]
It's just my imagination, once again
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me
[Verse 5]
Every night I hope and pray
Dear lord, hear my plea
Don't ever let another take her love from me
Or I will surely die
Her love is ecstasy
When her arms enfold me
I hear her tender rhapsody
But in reality, she doesn't even know
Me (Just my imagination)
(Running away with me)
It was just my imagination
Running away with me
I tell you
[Verse 6]
It was just my imagination, (Once again)
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me
[Verse 7]
It was just my imagination, once again
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me
Running away with me
