Something Was Missing (Annie)
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 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
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 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
