Yesterday I got to dreaming
About a recipe for my love
Took all the things I was feeling
Things around there's just not enough of
I tried and tried to find out the secret for my recipe
But all of these things couldn't make up my baby
And what my baby means to me
I took a cup full of sunshine
I added a touch of the rainbow
Sprinkled some happiness around it
And a little bit from a song that I know
One smile and a whole lot of loving in my recipe
But all that couldn't make up my baby
And what my baby means to me
Yes I've done a whole lot of dreaming
But it's no fun when things ain't what they seeming
I love my baby and my baby loves me
Then why can't I find my recipe
Painted me a face like Mona Lisa
Put some magic in the smile
I used all the colors of the rainbow
Artists 'round the world started copying my style
But it still doesn't look like my baby
And what she means to me
I guess I'll never find the secret to my recipe
