You're
walking along the street,
you're at a party
Or else you're alone,
and then you suddenly dig
You're looking
in someone's eyes,
you suddenly real ize
That this could be the start of
something big
You're lunching at twenty -one
Watch in' your diet
Declining that rich French food
Excepting a fig
When out of a clear blue sky
It's suddenly gal and guy
And this could be the start of
something big
There'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 without
a second look
You're up in an aero plane
or din ing at Sardi's
Or ly ing 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 do ing your income tax
or you're buying toothbrush
Hurrying 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 having a snowball fight
Or picking up dais ies
Singing a happy tun e
Or knocking on wood
When all of a sudden
you look up
An d there's someone new
Oh, this could be the start
of something good
You're a destined lov er
you'll discover in a frightening flash
So keep your heart awake
both night and day
Be cause the meeting may be
fleeting as a lightning flash
And let's face it,
you don't want to let her slip away
You're watchin' sun come up,
or countin' your money,
or else in a dim cafe you're
orderin' wine.
Then suddenly there she is,
you wanna be where she is,
and this must be the start
of something.
This must be the start of something new.
You
