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 someones eyes and you suddenly realize
This could be the start of something big

You're dining 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
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 if a lover, you'll discover at the gate, my friend
Invite her in without a second look

You're up in an aeroplane or you're dining at Sardi's
Or else you're alone and then you suddenly think
You suddenly hear a bell, right away you can tell
This could be the start of something
This could be the heart of something
This could be the start of something, something big
