Something Was Missing Songtext
von Reid Shelton

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.
Yet something was missing.
Each time I 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?
The world was my oyster
but where was the pearl?
Who dreamed I could find it
in one little girl?
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 dreamed I would find it
in one little girl?
Yes something was missing
but dreams do come true.
That something is no one
but you!
