Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)

The Temptations

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 fellows in the world
she belongs to me

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 (oh 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
for too real it all seems

But it was just my imagination once again
runnin' way 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 her love from me
or I would surely die
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
runnin' way with me
Tell you it was just my imagination
runnin' away with me
No, no, I can't forget her
​
Just my imagination once again
runnin' way with me
Just my imagination
runnin' away with me
