I cannot believe I haven't heard of this singer until today...talk about snoozing on him since I adore that genre that is jazz music. Well, not anymore I tell you! It's a new day.

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 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
