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

This could be the start of something big

You're lunching at Twenty-One and watching your diet

Declining a Charlotte Ruse 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

Oh 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
