Ooo ooo ooo
 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.  (oh yeah)
 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.
 (telling 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.."
 Ooh, her love is heavenly;
 when her arms enfold  me,
 I hear a tender rhapsody...
 but in reality,  she doesn't even know  me
 It was just  my imagination (once  again)
running  away with me.  oh
 (telling me) It was just  my imagination
 running away  with me...
 (I never met her, but I can't forget her.)
 It was just  my imagination
 running away  with me...  Oooo
 It was just  my imagination  . . . .
