Some Enchanted Evening
Discover the Magic of Chance Encounters in Some Enchanted Evening
Lyrics
Some enchanted evening
Describes a special, magical evening
You may see a stranger,
Suggests the possibility of encountering a new person
you may see a stranger
Repeats the idea of encountering a stranger
Across a crowded room
Setting the scene of a crowded room
And somehow you know,
Intuition or a deep feeling about the stranger
You know even then
Confirms the immediate knowing or connection
That somewhere you'll see him
Suggests the inevitability of meeting the person again
Again and again.
Emphasizes the repeated encounters
Some enchanted evening
Reiteration of the enchanting evening
Someone may be laughin',
Possibility of shared laughter with the stranger
You may hear him laughin'
Repeats the idea of laughter and connection
Across a crowded room
Revisits the crowded room scenario
And night after night,
Highlights the recurring nature of the laughter
As strange as it seems
Acknowledges the strange but significant impact
The sound of him laughter
Indicates the lasting impression of laughter
Will sing in your dreams.
Emphasizes the enduring memory in dreams
Who can explain it?
Expresses the mystery of love
Who can tell you why?
Questions the rationality of love
Fools give you reasons,
Contrasts the perspectives of fools and wise men
Wise men never try.
Suggests the futile attempt to explain love
Some enchanted evening
Relates the magical moment of finding true love
When you find your true love,
Emphasizes the emotional connection with true love
When you feel him call you
Describes a compelling call from the true love
Across a crowded room,
Recreates the crowded room scenario with heightened emotions
Then fly to his side,
Encourages swift action to be with the true love
And make him your own
Asserts the need to claim the true love as one's own
For all through your life you
Reflects on the enduring dreams about the true love
May dream all alone.
Emphasizes the potential solitude without the true love
Once you have found him
Advises against letting go of the found true love
Never let him go.
Reiterates the importance of keeping the true love
Once you have found him
Repeats the sentiment of not letting go
Never let him go!
Final insistence on the permanence of keeping the true love
