Ooo ooo ooooo, ooooooo / / / /

Each day through my window I watch up 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 fellas in the world, she belongs to you / / /

But it was just my 'magination / / / / runnin' away with me / /

It was just my 'magination runnin' away with me / / / /

(Soon) Soon we'll be married and raise a family (wo yeah)

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, I tell you how real it all seems / / /

But it was just my 'magination once again runnin' away with me / /

Tell you, it was just my 'magination runnin' away with me 1 / / / 2

Every night, on my knees, I pray

Dear Lord, hear my plea

Don't ever let another take her love from me

Or I would surely die / / /

Her love is heavenly

When her arms enfold me

I feel a tender love so deep

But in reality, she doesn't even know me

(Repeat and fade):

Just my 'magination once again runnin' away with me, oh

Tell you, it was just my 'magination runnin' away with me / / / /
