this could be the start of something
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 "21", you're 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  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 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  This could be the start of something very big Why don't you play your part Please give your heart to me, and see This could be the start of something wonderful Why don't you take a chance And try romance with me, and see  You're watching the sun come up or counting your money Or else in a dim cafe, you're ordering wine Then suddenly there he is And you want to be where he is And this must be the start of something This could be the heart of something This could be the start of something... big!
