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 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 

Soon we´ll be married and raise a family 
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 
Tell you, 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´ 
Her love is heavenly 
When her arms enfold me 
I hear her tender rhapsody 
But in reality, she doesn´t even know me 

It was just my imagination, once again 
Running away with me 
Oh, tell you, it was just my imagination, 
Running away with me 

I never met her, but I can't forget her 

Just my imagination, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Running away with me 
Oooh, just my imagination, 
Running away with me
