You're walkin' 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 watchin' 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? Just try romance with me and see Your watchin' the sun come up and countin' your money Or else in a dim cafe you're ordering wine Then suddenly there he is and you wanna 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
