Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
But it was just my imagination
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me
[Verse 2]
Soon
Soon we'll be married
And raise a family (Oh, yeah)
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
[Chorus]
But it was just my imagination, once again
Running away with me
I tell you, it was just my imagination
Running away with me
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
Hmm, her love is heavenly
When her arms enfold me
I hear a tender rhapsody
But in reality
She doesn't even know me
[Chorus]
Just my imagination
Once again
Running away with me
Oh, I tell you it was just my imagination
Running away with me
[Chorus]
I never met her but I can't forget her
Just my imagination, (Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Running away with me, ooh
Just my imagination
Running away with me
