My Ideal

Long ago my heart and mind

Got together and designed

The wonderful girl for me

Oh, what a fantasy

Though the ideal of my heart

Can't be ordered a la carte

I wonder if she will be

Always a fantasy

Will I ever find the girl in my mind?

The one who is my ideal

Maybe she's a dream

And yet she might be

Just around the corner waiting 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 was my ideal?

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
