In my imagination, I live the things I like to do
In my imagination, may feeling the drilling through
In my imagination, I pay just seen a vet to see
In my imagination, my hero thinks these words to me

You are my lucky star
I saw you from afar
Two lovely eyes, at me they were gleaming, beaming
I was star-struck

You're all my lucky charms
I'm lucky in your arms
You've opened heaven's portal
Here on earth




For this poor mortal
You are my lucky star
