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'd 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
