Lyrics:

Will I ever find the boy in my mind,
The one who is my ideal?
He could be just a dream but then he might be,
Just around the corner waiting for me.

Will I recognize the light in his eyes,
That no other eyes reveal?
Or will I pass him by and never even know,
That he is my ideal?

[Instrumental Solos]

Will I ever find the boy in my mind,
The one who is my ideal?
He could be just a dream but then he might be,
Just around the corner waiting for me.

Will I recognize the light in his eyes,
That no other eyes reveal?
Or will I pass him by and never even know,
That he is my ideal?

Will I pass him by,
Have I passed him by?
Have I passed him,
Have I?
