Something's Coming

(album: West Side Story (Original Broadway Cast Recording) - 1957)

Could be!
Who knows?
There's something' due any day
I will know right away
Soon as it shows
It may come cannonballing
Down through the sky
Gleam in its eye
Bright as a rose!
Who knows?

It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Under a tree
I got a feeling there's a miracle due
Gonna come true
Coming to me!

Could it be? Yes, it could
Something's coming, something good
If I can wait!
Something's coming, I don't know what it is
But it is
Gonna be great!

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 whistling' down the river
Come on deliver
To me!

Will it be? Yes, it will
Maybe just by holding still
It'll be there!
Come on, something, come on in
Don't be shy
Meet a guy
Pull up a chair!

The air is humming
And something great is comin'!
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Maybe tonight
