This Could Be The Start Of Something - Jack Jones

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

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

You're doin' your income tax

Or buyin' a toothbrush

Or hurryin' 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

You're havin' a snowball fight or pickin' up daisies

You're singin' a happy tune or knockin' 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 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 wanna let it slip away

You're watchin' the sun come up

Or countin' your money

Or else in a dim cafe you're ordering wine

Then suddenly there she is

You wanna be where she is

And this must be the start of something

This could be the heart of something

This could be the start of something grand
