As performed by ELEANOR POWELL
in the film "Broadway Melody Of 1936":
In my imagination
I live the things I'd like to do
In my imagination
Make believe is really true
In my imagination
I paint a scene of ecstasy
In my imagination
My hero sings 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
********************
ALTERNATE VERSES:
In my imagination
I searched the starlit sky so bright
In my imagination
There I saw you in the night
And on the day I saw you
How could I help but realise
My lucky star was smiling right there
Before my very eyes
You are my lucky star
I saw you from afar
If Garbo is a glamorous creature
You're a four-star feature
Though you are never seen
Up on a movie screen
You are my Shearer, Crawford, Hepburn, Harlow
And my Garbo
You are my lucky star
