[Intro] Oooh [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 fellows in the world, she belongs to you [Chorus] But it was just my imagination Runnin' away with me It was just my imagination Runnin' away with me [Verse 2] Ooh (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 (I, 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 Runnin' away with me Tell you, it was just my imagination Runnin' away with me [Bridge] Ev'ry 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 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 Runnin' away with me, oh Tell you it was just my imagination Runnin' away with me [Outro] I’ve never met her but I can't forget her (Just my imagination) Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Runnin' away with me, ooh Just my imagination Runnin' away with me She's never hard to find (Just my imagination) She's always on my mind (Runnin' away with me)
