 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

 But it was just my imagination,

 Running away with me

 It was just my imagination,

 Running away with me

 

 Soon we'll be married and raise a family

 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

 

 But it was just my imagination, once again

 Running away with me

 

 Tell you, 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"

 Her love is heavenly

 When her arms enfold me

 I hear her tender rhapsody

 But in reality, she doesn't even know me

 

 It was just my imagination, once again

 Running away with me

 Oh, tell you, it was just my imagination,

 Running away with me

 

 I never met her, but I can't forget her

 Just my imagination, yeah, yeah, yeah

 Running away with me

 

 Oooh, just my imagination,

 Running away with me
