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", you're 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
When all of a sudden you look up and there's someone new
This could be the start of something big
Your destined lover you discover in a frighten flash
So keep your heart awake both night and day
Because a meetin' may be flirtin' as a lightin' flash
And you don't want to 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, and you wanna be where she is
And this could be the start of something big
This could be the start of something
This could be the start of something
This could be the start of something big!
