Lyrics Some Enchanted Evening from South Pacific

Some Enchanted Evening

(originally from “South Pacific” OST)

Some enchanted evening
You may see a stranger
You may see a stranger, across a crowded room
And somehow you know
You know even then
That somewhere you’ll see him
Again and again
Some enchanted evening
Someone may be laughing
You may hear him laughing across a crowded room
And night after night
As strange as it seems
The sound of his laughter will sing in your dreams
Who can explain it?
Who can tell you why?
Fools give you reasons
Wise men never try
Some enchanted evening
When you find your true love
Across a crowded room
And fly to his side
And make him your own
Or all through YOUR LIFE you may dream all alone
Once you have found him, never let him go
Once you have found him, never let him go
