Lyrics

Ooh
Each day through my window I watch 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 you
But it was just my imagination
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me
When me and Melvin got back from lunch
Shelly told us Eddie was gone
He didn't come back for that show
Or any more after
Soon we'll be married
And raise a family (yeah)
A cozy little home out in the country
With two children, maybe three
I'll tell you I can visualize it all, yes I can
This couldn't be a dream, far too real it all seems
But it was (just my imagination)
Once again
Running away with me
I tell you it was just my imagination
Running away with me
This was the last song he recorded with us
Every night
On my knees I pray
It'll always be my favorite Eddie Kendricks record
Dear Lord
Hear my plea
Don't ever let another take her love from me
Oh, 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 (running away with me)
No, I tell you it was (just my imagination)
No (running away with me)
