Out of This World
Dean Martin Frank Sinatra & Sammy Davis Jr. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm looking at you,
I hear out of this world
The music that no mortal ever knew.
You're right out of a book,
The fairy tale I read when I was so high;
No armoured knight out of a book
After waiting so long for the right time,
After reaching so long for a star,
All at once from the long and lonely night time,
And despite time, here you are!
I'd fly out of this world
If you said we were through,
So let me fly out of this world
And spend the next eternity or two with you;
I'll spend the next eternity or two with you.
The lyrics of the song 'Out of this World' by Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Sammy Davis Jr. revolve around the idea of being enchanted by someone and finding them out of this world. It praises the person's beauty and charm as something that is beyond human comprehension. When the artists look at this person, they hear music that no one could have ever created. The person is compared to a fairy tale character, a Lorelei, who is a mythical siren or mermaid-like creature from German folklore.
The artists express that they have waited for a long time to find someone like this, and it was worth the wait. The feelings of loneliness and despair that they had experienced before meeting this person have now disappeared. The artists mention that they would rather leave this world than lose this person's love and be without them. They want to spend an eternity with them, and they want to fly out of this world to do so.
Overall, the song suggests a profound love and admiration for someone who is out of this world and has transformed the artist's life for the better. It is a beautiful tribute to the power of love and the feeling of being smitten with someone.

You're clear out of this world
You are beyond amazing
When I'm looking at you,
When I gaze upon your beauty
I hear out of this world
I am awestruck by the sounds
The music that no mortal ever knew.
Sounds that surpass human comprehension
You're right out of a book,
You are a character from a fairytale
The fairy tale I read when I was so high;
The story I dreamed of as a child
No armoured knight out of a book
No fictional hero
Could find a more enchanted Lorelei than I.
Could discover a more captivating figure
After waiting so long for the right time,
After endlessly waiting for the perfect moment
After reaching so long for a star,
After exerting great effort to attain my goal
All at once from the long and lonely night time,
Suddenly from the extended period of sadness and solitude
And despite time, here you are!
Despite the duration, you are finally here
I'd fly out of this world
I would be elated
If you said we were through,
If you ended our relationship
So let me fly out of this world
Allow me to experience great happiness
And spend the next eternity or two with you;
With you by my side for a timeless period
I'll spend the next eternity or two with you.
I want to spend forever with you
