This Could Be The Start Of Something Big

You're walking along the street

Or you're at a party

Or else you're alone and 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

Oh, this could be the start of something big

There's no controlling the unrolling of your fate, my friend

Who'll know what's written in that magic book

But when a lover you discover at that gate, my friend

Invite her in without 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

Oh, this could be the start of something grand

When all of a sudden you

Look up and there's someone new

Oh, this could be the start of something big

Your destined lover you'll discover in a frightening 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

Oh, and this could be the start of something big

Well now, this could be the start of something

This could be the start of something

This could be the start of something big

Whoa
