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 me 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 suddenly you can tell

And this must be the start of something grand

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 me 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 suddenly you can tell

And this must be the start of something grand

This could be the start of something

Give you all that gotcha know that

This could be the start of something grand
