Lyrics
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 me...

But it was just my 'magination
running away with me.
It was just my 'magination
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 'magination -- once again --
running away with me.
I tell you it was just my 'magination
running away with me...

Paul: 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.
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
