This classic tune spins a tale of unrequited love and longing. The protagonist is captivated by a woman he sees pass by his window daily, dreaming up an entire life with her - marriage, children, and a cozy home. However, as the title suggests, it's all in his imagination. He prays for this dream to become reality but acknowledges that she doesn't even know him. This song beautifully captures the bittersweet feeling of daydreaming about someone you desire but can't have, highlighting the power of our imaginations to create vivid alternate realities where our deepest desires come true.
Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)
Lyrics
Ooh
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
Ooh (soon)
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, far too real it all seems
But it was just my imagination, once again
Runnin' away 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, hmm
(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' away with me, oh
Tell you it was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
I've never met her but I can't forget her
(Just my imagination) Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Runnin' away with me, ooh
Just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
