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 "21", 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
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 him 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
You're doing your income tax
Or buying a toothbrush
Or 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
Oh, you're having a snowball fight
Or picking up daisies
Singing a happy tune
Or knocking 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 frightening flash
So keep your heart away both night and day
Because the meeting might be fleeting as a lightening flash
And you don't want to let it slip away - way - way!
You're watching the sun come up or counting your money
In a dim cafe, you're ordering wine
Then suddenly there he is
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!
Something big!
This could be the one
I think it might be fun
Or it might be dumb
You might be the one for me
I think it could be
This could be the start
