Original Broadway Cast of Thoroughly Modern Millie
I Turned the Corner / Falling in Love with Someone (Reprise)
[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, (MILLIE) & BOTH]
All of the past erased
(All of the past erased)
Glorious future faced
(Glorious future faced)
Now that my life you've graced
(Now my life will never be the same)
I'll never be the same
(I turned the corner)
I turned the corner
(Feet on the ground)
Feet on the ground
My spirit soared as you appeared before me!
I wasn't looking (I didn't look)
Look what I found
I turned the corner when I met you
[MILLIE, JIMMY, MR. GRAYDON & MISS DOROTHY]
I turned the corner (when I met you)
For I'm falling in love with someone, someone
(For I am falling in love with some one girl)
Falling in love with someone, (I am falling in love), (Someone)
I'm falling in love with someone, (A feeling I have never felt) (Some girl)
Some one girl, (Head awhirl), (Pulse is leaping madly)
A feeling I have never felt, (Head awhirl)
Yes, I'm falling in love with someone, (Pulse is leaping madly)
Pulse is leaping madly, (Yes, I'm falling in love with someone)
Plain to see, (Yes, I'm falling in love with someone)
Yes, I'm falling in love with someone,
Yes, I'm falling in love with someone
I'm sure I could love someone madly, (Plain to see)
Plain to see, (Plain to see)
I'm sure I could love someone, (I'm sure)
I'm sure I could love someone
[CHING HO]
I love you, Miss Dorothy
[MILLIE, JIMMY, MR. GRAYDON & MISS DOROTHY]
If someone would only love me!
