Something Was Missing [Reid Shelton]



Warbucks:
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.

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!
