I've made me a fortune
|
(That fortune made ten)
|
Been headlined
|
And profiled
|
Again and again
|
But something was missing
|
(I never quite knew)
|
That something was someone
|
But who?
|
|
My speeches are greeted
|
With thunderous acclaim
|
At two universities
|
Bearing my name
|
Yes, something was missing
|
Each timeI got through
|
That something was someone
|
But who?
|
|
Who could that someone be?
|
How could she make it known?
|
Who would need me for me?
|
Need me for me alone?
|
he world was my oyster
|
But where was the pearl?
|
Who dreamed I could find it
|
Yes something was missing
|
But dreams can come true
|
That something
|
Is no one
|
But you
|
|
Who would need me for me?
|
Need me for me alone
|
The world was my oyster
|
But where was the pearl?
|
Who'd dream I would find it
|
In one little girl?
|
Yes, something was missing
|
But dreams do come true
|
That something is no one.....but you.
