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 à 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 from me
Waiting for me

Will I recognise
A 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 recognise
A light in her eyes
That no other eyes reveal?
Or will I pass her by
And never even know
That she is my ideal?
