My Ideal

My Ideal - Chet Baker (Chesney Henry Chet Baker Jr)

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

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
