Something Was Missing Songtext
von Ron Raines

Annie, there′s something you should know. (sung)
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 would find it
In one little girl?

Yes, something was missing
But dreams can come true
That something is no one
But you!

(Spoken)
Ha! I haven′t waltzed since the
Inauguration of William Howard Taft. (sung)


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!
