My Ideal

Will I ever find the girl in my mind

The girl who is my ideal?

Maybe she's a dream, and yet she might be

Just around the corner looking for me

Will I recognize the light in her eyes

That no other eyes reveal?

Or will I pass her by

And never even know that she is my ideal?

I know the woman of my heart

Cannot be ordered a la carte

But will she always be

Only upon the sea?

Will I ever find the girl in my mind

The girl who is my ideal?

Maybe she's a dream, and yet she might be

Just around the corner looking for me

Will I recognize the light in her eyes

That no other eyes reveal?

Although she may be late

I trust in fate, and so I wait for my ideal

My ideal
