Carmen McRae

Carmen Mercedes McRae (April 8, 1920 – November 10, 1994) was an American jazz singer, composer, pianist, and actress. Considered one of the most influential jazz vocalists of the 20th century, it was her behind-the-beat phrasing and her ironic interpretations of song lyrics that made her memorable. McRae drew inspiration from Billie Holiday, but established her own distinctive voice. She went on to record over 60 albums, enjoying a rich musical career, performing and recording in the United States, Europe, and Japan. more »

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 ruse, 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 her in without a second look

You're up in an aeroplane or dining at Sardi's
Or lying at Malibu alone on the sand
You suddenly hear a bell and right away you can tell
That this could be the start of something grand

This could be the start of something very big
Why don't you play your part?
Please give your heart to me and see
This could be the start of something wonderful
Why don't you take a chance?
Just try romance with me and see

Your watchin' the sun come up and countin' your money
Or else in a dim cafe you're ordering wine
Then suddenly there he is and you wanna be where he is
And this must be the start of something
This could be the heart of something
This could be the start of something big
