It was the third of September That day I'll always remember, yes I will Cause that was the day, that my daddy died I never got a chance to see him Never heard nothin' but bad things about him "Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth" And Momma just hung her head and said...

"Hey Momma, is it true what they say, That Papa never worked a day in his life? And Momma, some bad talk goin' round town sayin' that Papa had three outside children and another wife, and that ain't right Heard them talking Papa doing some store front preachin' Talked about saving souls and all the time leeching Dealing in debt, and stealing in the name of the Lord" Momma just hung her head and said...

Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bills Hey Momma, folks say that Papa never was much on thinking Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking Momma I'm depending on you to tell me the truth" And Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said...

Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within (Can you dig it?) Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes, they don't tell the truth Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof

Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes, they don't tell the truth Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes...
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 fellas 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... Oooohhhhhhh, (So)
So 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), Running away with me... Tell you it was just my imagination, Running 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 will surely die... (Mmmm) 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... Tell you it was just my imagination, Running away with me... (I'll never get her, but I can't forget her) Just my imagination (Ooohh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah), Running away with me... It was just my imagination, Running away with me... (repeat to fade)

Sunshine blue skies please go away The girl has found another and gone away. With her went my future my life is filled with gloom So day after day I stay locked up in my room. I know to you, it might sound strange but I wish it would rain,
Cause so badly I wanna go outside But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry Listen, I gotta cry 'cause crying eases the pain, Oh yeah, people this hurt I feel inside. Words could never explain, I just wish it would rain.
Day in day out my tear-stained face Pressed against the window pain, My eyes search the skies desperately for rain, Cause rain-drops will hide my tear -drops And no one will ever know that I'm crying, Crying when I go outside. To the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain, oh I wish it would rain, let it rain, let it rain. I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes. Oh, let it rain. I'm a man and I got my pride Til' it rains I'm gonna stay inside and let it rain.
