Summer Song- Something's Coming



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 will jingle, door will 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,
& something great is coming!
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Maybe tonight . . .
Bernstein/Sondheim
1957
