Stephen Sondheim
Something’s Coming
[TONY]
Could be...
Who knows?...
There's something 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?

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!

Could it be? Yes, it could
Something's comin', something good
If I can wait
Something's comin', 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 comin', 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!

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!

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...
