I've made me a fortune

That fortune made ten

Been headlined and profiled

Again and again
      C            C/A#
But something was missing

I never quite knew
     C#
That something was someone
     Gm C7
But who?

Verse 2:
F
My speeches are greeted

With thunderous acclaim
    G
At two universities

Bearing my name
      C            C/A#
Yes, something was missing
      Am7        Dm
Each time I got through
        C#
That something was someone
    G#
But who?

How could she make it known?

Need me for me alone?

F
The world was my oyster

But where was the pearl?
     G
Who dreamed I could find it

In one little girl
    C             C/A#
Yes something was missing
     Am             D#
But dreams do come true
     C
That something
   C7
Is no one
     Dm Dm/G
But you
