Something's Coming

Tony has been painting a sign for Doc's drugstore, where he now works. Riff talks him into joining the Jets at the dance, but Tony's mind is already on other things.)

Could be!
Who knows?
There's something due any day
I will know, right away
Soon as it shows
It may come cannonballing down
From the sky
Gleam in its eye, bright as 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, 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 will 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 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...
Maybe tonight...
Maybe tonight...!
