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 of 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...
Ooh-hoo-hoo-hooh Soon we'll be
married.. and raise a family. In 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. I 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.." Ooh, her love is
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.. -- ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
-- running away with
me
