Lyrics

Ohhh-oh
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 fellows in the world
She belongs to me
But it was just my imagination
Running away with me
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, hmm
(Her love is heavenly), heavenly
When her arms enfold me
I hear a tender rhapsody
But in reality
She doesn't even know me
(Just my imagination), once again
Running away with me
Tell you it was just my imagination
Running away with me
I never met her but I can't forget her (just my imagination)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Running away with me
Tell you It was just my imagination
Running away
Running away with me
