Each day through my window
I watch him as he passes by
I say to myself, "What an incredible guy."
To have a love like that
Must surely be a dream come true
Out of all the women in the world
He belongs to only you
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
A cozy little home out in the country
With two kids or three
I tell you, I can visualize it all
This couldn't be a dream
How real it all seems
Ohh, but it was just my imagination, once again
Runnin' away with me
Tell you 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, surely die
His love is heavenly
When his arms enfold me
I hear a tender rhapsody
But in reality
He doesn't even know me
Once again
Runnin' away with me
Ohh, just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
It was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me
Just my imagination
Runnin' away with me . .
I watch him as he passes by
I say to myself, "What an incredible guy."
To have a love like that
Must surely be a dream come true
Out of all the women in the world
He belongs to only you
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
A cozy little home out in the country
With two kids or three
I tell you, I can visualize it all
This couldn't be a dream
How real it all seems
Ohh, but it was just my imagination, once again
Runnin' away with me
Tell you 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, surely die
His love is heavenly
When his arms enfold me
I hear a tender rhapsody
But in reality
He doesn't even know me
Once again
Runnin' away with me
Ohh, just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
It was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me
Just my imagination
Runnin' away with me . .
