I used to have a perfect sweetheart
Not a real one, just a dream
A wonderful vision of us as a team
Can you imagine how I feel now
Love is real now, it's ideal
You're just what I wanted
And now it's nice to live, paradise to live
Melody
I know why I've waited, know why I've been blue
Prayed each night for someone exactly like you.
Why should we spend money on a show or two
No one does those love scenes exactly like you
Bridge
You make me feel so grand
I want to hand the world to you
You seem to understand
Each foolish little scheme I'm scheming
Dream I'm dreaming
Now I know why mother taught me to be true
She meant me for someone exactly like you
