Chet Baker - My Ideal Lyrics

Chet Baker Lyrics

"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
