Lyrics
Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger,
Describes a special, magical evening where encountering a stranger is possible.
You may see a stranger across a crowded room,
Suggests the possibility of seeing a stranger in a crowded setting.
And somehow you know, you know even then,
Conveys a sense of intuition, an immediate connection or recognition with the stranger.
That somehow you'll see here again and again.
Anticipates repeated encounters with the stranger in the future.
Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing,
Portrays another enchanted evening where laughter draws attention.
You may hear her laughing across a crowded room,
Implies the laughter is audible even in the midst of a crowded room.
And night after night, as strange as it seems,
Highlights the persistence of the laughter in one's memory.
The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams.
Suggests that the laughter becomes a significant element in one's dreams.
Who can explain it, who can tell you why?
Ponders the mysterious nature of such enchanting connections.
Fools give you reasons, wise men never try.
Contrasts the inability of fools to explain with the wisdom of not attempting to do so.
Some enchanted evening, when you find your true love,
Shifts focus to finding true love during an enchanted evening.
When you hear her call you across a crowded room,
Describes the moment of hearing a call from one's true love in a crowded space.
Then fly to her side and make her your own,
Urges action in response to the call, emphasizing the importance of making the person your own.
Or all through your life you may dream all alone.
Warns of potential loneliness if one fails to seize the opportunity for true love.
Once you have found her, never let her go,
Emphasizes the permanence of keeping the found love and not letting it slip away.
Once you have found her, never let her go.
Repeats the advice to never let go of the true love once discovered.
