She knew this was the day, she would say her good-byes
Baby to be relinquished, and hummed her a lullaby.
All she had to give her, for a keepsake to remind
Half-dime on a necklace, only treasure she could find.

Adopted by a family, with riches beyond compare
They loved her, spoiled her, special princess and heir.
She grew up a social butterfly, had best of both worlds
Soon to be married, lavished her in string of pearls.

In a nearby restaurant, where she orders her tea
Waitress said to her, "Somehow you remind me of me."
They spent many hours, exchanging stories of family
How one came to be a waitress, the other an adoptee.

Day before her wedding, she stopped in one last time
Waitress gave her a present, a necklace with half-dime.
She looked with tears in her eyes, she knew it was her
They each had half n' half, and a reunion since birth.
