My Ideal - Stan Getz Quartet, Chet Baker

Long ago my heart and mind

Got together and designed

The wonderful girl for me

Oh what a fantasy

Thought the ideal of my heart

Can’t be ordered a la carte

I wonder if he will be

Always a fantasy

Will I ever find the girl in my mind?

The one who is my ideal

Maybe he’s a dream and yet he 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 he 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 he is my ideal
