Lyrics

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 meet her/him again and again

Some Enchanted Evening
Someone may be laughing
You may hear her/him laughing
Across a crowded room

And night after night
As strange as it seems
The sound of her/his laughter will sound in your dreams

Who can explain it?
Who can tell you why?
Fools give you reason
Wise men never try

Some enchanted evening
When you find your true love
When you feel her/him call you
Across a crowded room

Then fly to her/his side
And make her/him your own
Or all through your life
You may dream all alone

Once you have found her/him
Never let her/him go
Once you have found her/him...
Never let her/him go!
