song lyrics from possibly the best musical ever

Today has been a good day for me so I want to post some song lyrics
from West Side Story.

Now without a doubt all of the music and lyrics from WWS are what I
like to call Perfect - thanks to the Genius of both Leonard Bernstein
and Stephen Sondheim.


As always - things like the Quintet and the Finale are my favorites.

Other songs and lyrics from WWS that I like are:


~Jet Song at the beginning

~America

~Officer Krupke

~Somewhere - there's a place for us

~A Boy Like That/I Have a Love


but Tonight these are the song lyrics that speak to me:



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 Out of Reach

Down The Block - On a Beach

Up In 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 Know What It Is

And 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 Stilll

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 coming


Who Knows

It's Just Out of Reach


Down the Block
On a Beach


Maybe Tonight



maybe tonight...






and if it does....and if it does....



i'll be ready
