lyrics

Kissing my pillow, imagining that it's you—
what in the world is a boy like me 'sposed to do,
about a girl like you?

Mary, please,
reach out from my memory,
and never leave
this tender reverie

Oh, Imaginary Mary,
sweeter than strawberry,
you're my fantasy,
and if you'd come alive you'll set me free.
Daylight in a daydream,
Takes me on a sunbeam
to castles in the air,
but when I raise my eyes,
you're never there...

I see your face on the girls that go walkin' by.
But, they disappear and you know that I start to cry,
I wonder why?

Mary,
life can be so lonely,
so hold me
in my dream

Oh, Mary, please,
though you're just a memory,
never leave
this tender reverie.

Yeah, Imaginary Mary,
sweeter than strawberry,
you're my fantasy,
and if you'd come alive you'll set me free.
Daylight in a daydream,
Takes me on a sunbeam
to castles in the air,
but when I raise my eyes,
you're never there...

Mary, please
Won't you stay by me—

You're never there...
