Lyrics

Each day through my window I watch him as he passes by
I say to myself, "You're such a lucky girl
To have a boy like him is truly a dream come true
Out of all the girls in the world he belongs to me"
But it was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
It was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
Soon we'll be married and raise a family
Have a cozy little home out in the country with two children, maybe three
I tell you I, ooh-ooh, 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 runnin' away with me, ooh-ooh-ooh
It was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
Every night on my knees I pray, "Dear Lord, hear my plea
Don't ever let another take his love from me or I will surely die", ooh-ooh
His love is heavenly, when his arms enfold me I hear a tender rhapsody
But in reality he doesn't even know my name
(Just my imaginaton)
Oh, what a shame!
For it was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
And runnin' and runnin'
It was just my imagination
Once again runnin' away with me, ooh-ooh-ooh
It was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Just my imagination)
In the windmills of my mind, ooh-ooh
I would think about him all the time
(Just my imagination)
Oh, but he didn't even know my name
Oh, what a shame!
Well, it was just my imagination
