[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
You're lunching at 21 and watching your diet
Declining a charlotte russe, accepting a fig
When out of the clear blue sky, it's suddenly gal and guy
And this could be the start of something big
[Bridge]
There's no controlling the unrolling of your fate, my friend
You know 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
[Verse 3]
You're up in an aeroplane or dining at Sardi's
Or lying at Malibu all alone on the sand
You suddenly hear a bell and right away you can tell
That this could be the start of something
This should be the start of something
This could be the start of something big
