Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Could be!
Who knows?
There's somethin' due any day
I will know right away
Soon as it shows
It may come cannonballin'
Down through the sky
Gleam in its eye
Bright as a rose!
Who knows?
[Verse 2]
It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Under a tree
I got a feelin' there's a miracle due
Gonna come true
Comin' to me!
[Verse 3]
Could it be? Yes, it could
Somethin's coming, something good
If I can wait!
Something's comin', I don't know what it is
But it is
Gonna be great!
[Verse 4]
With a click, with a shock
Phone'll jingle, door'll knock
Open the latch!
Something's coming, don't know when
But it's soon
Catch the moon
One-handed catch!
Around the corner
Or whistlin' down the river
Come on, deliver
To me!
[Verse 5]
Will it be? Yes, it will
Maybe just by holdin' still
It'll be there!
Come on, something, come on in
Don't be shy
Meet a guy
Pull up a chair!
[Verse 6]
The air is hummin'
And something great is comin'!
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight
Written by: Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim
