Something Was Missing - Harry Connick Jr

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 timeI 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?

he world was my oyster --

But where was the pearl?

Who dreamed I could find it 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.
