Each day through my win-dow 
-5  8   -8   7  7   7   7 6-5
I watch her as she pass-es by,
-5 -8 7  -5  -8  -5  -5  8-8 -7   7  7 6-5  
I say to my-self you are such a luck-y guy,
-5  -5  6   7   -8   7
To have a girl like her,
-5  8  -8 7   8    -8   7
Is tru-ly a dream come true,
-8  8   -9 -9  -9  -9  -9 10   7     
Out of all the fel-las in the world,
-8  -7   7   6  7
She be-longs to me.

-5  -5  6    7  7  7  6  -5 7 6-5  
But it was just my i-mag-in-a-tion
-8   -8 -8 -7   7  -8-7
Run-ning a-way with me,
-8  8   -9  -9-9 -9  -9-910 7
It was just my i-mag-in-a-tion
-8   -7  7 -8    7  7
Run-ning a-way with me.

  -8    -8    7   -5  8   -8
(Soon) soon we'll be mar-ried,
 7    7   7  6 -5 -5   
And raise a fam-i-ly, 
-5-8 7  -5  -5   -8  -5  -5  8   -8  -7
A co-zy lit-tle home out in the coun-try,
 7   7   6    6   -5  -5 -5
With 2 child-ren, may-be  3.
-5 -5  -5 -5 -5  8   -8   7  -8  7
I tell you I can vi-sual-ize it all 
 8    -9   -9  -9 -9  -9
This could-n't be a dream 
-910 7   -8  -7  7    7
for too real it all seems.

-5  -5  6    7  7  7  6  -5 7 6-5  
But it was just my i-mag-in-a-tion
-8   -8 -8 -7   7  -8-7
Run-ning a-way with me,
-8  8   -9  -9-9 -9  -9-910 7
It was just my i-mag-in-a-tion
-8   -7  7 -8    7  7
Run-ning a-way with me.

8   -8 -8 7  7  7  7 -5 -5 -55-4
Ev-‘ry night on my knees I pray,
 -8   -8    -8  7    7
Dear Lord, hear my plea,
 -7   7  -7  7  -7  7  -7
Don't ev-er let an-oth-er 
 -8   7    7    6   7
take her love from me,
7 -6*  6    -6* -7 -7-8-7
Or I would sure-ly   die,
-5   -5  -5  -8   7  7 
Her Love is heav-en-ly
 7   -7    7  -7  -8  7
When her arms en-fold me,
-7  7 -7  7  -7   -8  7  7
I hear a ten-der rhap-so-dy,
-7  7  -7 -8 7  7
But in re-al-i-ty
-7    7  -7  7  -7  -8  7
She does-n't ev-en know me

-5  -5  6    7  7  7  6  -5 7 6-5  
But it was just my i-mag-in-a-tion
-8   -8 -8 -7   7  -8-7
Run-ning a-way with me,
-8  8   -9  -9-9 -9  -9-910 7
It was just my i-mag-in-a-tion
-8   -7  7 -8    7  7
Run-ning a-way with me.
