Lyrics
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
Refrain
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
Refrain
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
Altho’ she may be late, I trust in fate
And so I wait for my ideal
