Lyrics This Could Be The Start Of Something Big (Live At The Crescendo, 1961) - Ella Fitzgerald

Thank you, ladies and gentelmen

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 him in without a second look

You're up in an aeroplane
Or dining at Sardi's
Or at Malibu lying on the sand
When you hear bells
And right away you can tell
That this could 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
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 him in without a second look

You're up in an aeroplane
Or dining at Sardi's
Or at Malibu lying on the sand
When suddenly hear bell
You wanna be queries
This could be the start of something
This could be the start of something
This could be the start of something great
