West Side Story: Something's Coming Songtext
von Leonard Bernstein

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 coming!
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Maybe tonight . . .
