have we met?


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
A girl for you -- what about a little boy 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 you --

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 a tender rhapsody
But in reality
She doesn't even know me
