I look out my window watch her as she passes by
I say to myself I’m such a lucky guy
To have a girl like her is a dream come true
And of all the girls in New York she loves me true
It was just my imagination, once again
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me
Soon we’ll be married and raise a family
Two boys for you, what about two girls for me
I tell you I am just a fellow with a one track mind
Whatever it is I want baby I seek and I shall find
I’ll tell ya
It was just my imagination, once again
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me
Every night I hope and pray
“Dear lord, hear my plea
Don’t ever let another take her love from me
Or I will surely die”
Her love is ecstasy
When her arms enfold me
I hear her tender rhapsody
But in reality, she doesn’t even know… me
