I Turned the Corner Lyrics > Thoroughly Modern Millie

JIMMY:
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 like 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

JIMMY and MILLIE:
All of the past erased
Glorious future faced
Now that my life you've graced
I'll never be the same
I turned the corner
Feet on the ground
My spirit soared as you appeared before me!
I wasn't looking, look what I found

JIMMY:
I turned the corner when I met you

MILLIE:
I turned the corner
For I'm falling in love with someone, someone
I'm falling in love with someone
Head awhirl
Yes, I'm falling in love with someone
Plain to see
I'm sure I could love someone madly ...

JIMMY (at the same time):
I turned the corner when I met you
For I am falling in love with some one girl
I am falling in love
A feeling I have never felt
Pulse is leaping madly
Yes, I'm falling in love with someone
Plain to see
I'm sure I could love someone ...

MR. GRAYDON (at the same time):
Falling in love with someone
Some girl
A feeling I have never felt
Pulse is leaping madly
Yes, I'm falling in love with someone
Plain to see
I'm sure ...

MISS DOROTHY (at the same time):
Someone
Some one girl
Head awhirl
Yes, I'm falling in love with someone
Plain to see
I'm sure I could love someone ...

CHING HO:
I love you, Miss Dorothy

MILLIE, JIMMY, MR. GRAYDON and MISS DOROTHY:
If someone would only love me!
