I turned the corner

Thousands of people, way down below
Wandering to and fro
Tireless people, no time to lose
Crowding the avenues and parks
On their marks
Racing fast, quite a cast
Millions of people
Pick any two
They could be just like you and me
Used to be
Way back when … strangers then ….

I turned the corner and there you stood.
Your smile at home to me
Your heart familiar.
No use pretending, not that I could
I turned the corner, when I met you ……

I turned the corner, stopped on a dime
Like I remembered someone long forgotten.
No mere flirtation, no marking time
I turned the corner when I met you,
When I met you.

Was our encounter planned?
Destiny’s guiding hand?
Fortune or fate, it’s grand,
the way you make me feel!

Millie: Glorious future faced
Jimmy: Now that my life
Millie: Now my life will
Both: I’ll never be the same

Millie: I turned the corner
Millie: Feet on the ground
Jimmy: I turned the corner
Jimmy: Feet on the ground
Both: My spirits soared as if you appeared before me

Jimmy: I wasn’t looking
Millie: I didn’t look-
Both: Look what I’ve found
Jimmy: I turned the corner, when I met you ……

Jimmy: I turned the corner when I met you. For I am falling love with some one girl. I am falling so in love, a feeling I have never felt. Pulse is leaping madly…

Millie: I turned the corner, for I am falling in love with someone, someone. I’m falling in love with someone, head awhirl…

All: Yes I’m falling in love with someone, plain to see …

Millie: I’m sure I could love someone

Jimmy: I’m sure I could love someone

Ching Ho: I love you, Miss Dorothy

All: If someone would only love me.
