Around the Corner
Is something wonderful in store for me?
I feel it near and almost hear the pulse of it!
What’s around the corner? What can it be?
So far, a butterfly, it only wants to flit.
I feel it near and almost hear the pulse of it.
It has to be so beautiful. It can’t be bad!
So far, a butterfly, it only wants to flit!
I race with time to find out something glad.
It has to be so beautiful! It can’t be bad. . .
Like Tony and Maria in the West Side Story,
I race with time to find out something glad -
to sparkle like a star that finds its glory!
Like Tony and Maria in the West Side Story,
I sing, “Tonight won’t be just any night.”
To sparkle like a star that finds its glory!
Surely round the corner cannot be plight!
I sing, “Tonight won’t be just any night!”
Aflutter with anticipation, I’ve found hope.
Surely round the corner cannot be plight.
Is destiny my friend, or am I just a dope?
Aflutter with anticipation, I’ve found hope.
What’s around the corner? What can it be?
Is destiny my friend? Or am I just a dope?
Is something wonderful in store for me?
