This Could Be the Start of Something

This Could Be the Start of Something - Dorothy Collins

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 sardis

Or lying at malibu alone on the sand

You suddenly hear a bell

And right away you can tell

This could be the start of something grand

Your watching the sun come up

And counting your money

Or else in a dim cafe you're ordering wine

Then suddenly there he is

And you wanna be where he is

And this could be the start of something

This could be the heart of something

This could be the start of something high
