That's How Stories Begin
By Ilya Chervony · American Chanson
Read lyrics
Rain was falling, lights were low
People talking, glasses clink
You were standing by the door
I was wondering what to think
One small smile, a little wine
One more hour before we go
Neither one of us could see
Where the night would take us both
Somewhere down a quiet road
Something changed without a sound
Two directions met as one
And the world kept spinning round
No promises, no grand design
Just a moment passing through
Funny how a little chance
Can bring a stranger close to you
That's how stories begin
With a moment passing by
With a question in your eyes
And a reason not to lie
You don't know what waits ahead
You don't know where it will lead
Sometimes all it takes is one
Little thing you didn't need
Years can turn and roads can change
People leave and memories stay
Some will live inside your heart
Some will simply fade away
But I still remember when
Nothing seemed to have a name
Just a night, a door, a chance
And a story finding flame
Maybe that's the way it works
Maybe that's the secret thing
One small moment, one small choice
That's how stories begin
