You’re walking along the street, Or you’re at a party, Or else you’re alone an Then you suddenly dig; You’re looking in someone’s eyes, You suddenly realize That this could be the start of something big!
You’re lunching at “Twenty one” And watching your diet, Declining a Charlotte Russe, Accepting a fig; When out of a clear blue sky, It’s suddenly gal and guy, And this could be the start of something big!
Theres’s no controlling The unrolling Of your fate, my friend, Who knows what’s written in the magic book? But when a lover you discover at the gate, my friend, Invite her in whithout a second look!
You’re up in an aeroplane, Or dining at Sardi’s Or lying at Malibu, Alone on the sand; You suddenly hear a bell And right away you can tell That this could be the start of something grand.
You’re doin’ your income tax Or buyin’ a toothbrush, Or hurryin’ home because The hour is late; Then suddenly there you go, The very next thing you know, Is this could be the start of something great!
You’re havin’ a snowball fight Or pickin’ up daisies. You’re singin’ a happy tune, Or knockin’ on wood; When all of a sudden you Look up and there’s someone new, Oh, this could be the start of something good!
Your destined lover You’ll discover in a fright’ning flash, So keep your heart awake Both night and day, Because the meeting may be fleeting as a lightning flash and you don’t want to let it slip away!
You’re watching the sun come up, Or counting your money Or else in a dim cafe, You’re ordering wine; Then suddenly there she is, You want to be where she is, And this must be a part of something, This could be the heart of something, This could be the start of something fine!
