SOMETHING BIG
Title song from the film "Something Big" (1971)
(Music: Burt Bacharach / Lyrics: Hal David)


Mark Lindsay (Film Soundtrack) - 1971





Like a grain of sand that wants to be a rolling stone
I want to be the man I'm not
And have the things I really haven't got
And that's a lot

There'll be joy and there'll be laughter
Something big is what I'm after now
Yes, it's what I'm after now

And after takin', I'll take up givin'
Something big is what I'm livin' for
Yes, it's what I'm livin' for
Livin' for

Why do I go off and fill my life with little things
When there are big things I must do
Lots of dreams that really should come true
Before I'm through

There'll be joy and there'll be laughter
Something big is what I'm after now
Yes, it's what I'm after now

And after takin', I'lltake up givin'
Something big is what I'm livin' for
Yes, it's what I'm livin' for
Livin' for

And after takin', I'll take up givin'
Something big is what I'm livin' for
Yes, it's what I'm livin' for
Livin' for
