My Ideal
Leo Robin, Newell Chase, Richard Whiting
Long ago my heart and mind
Got together and designed
A wonderful girl for me
Oh, what a fantasy
Though the idol of my heart
Can be ordered a la cart
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
But yet she might be
Just around the corner waiting for me
Will I recognize
The light in her eyes
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?
