Out of This World
Frank Sinatra Dean Martin & 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 "Out of This World" sung by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. express a profound admiration for a person who is like no other, someone who is out of this world. When looking at this individual, everything seems magical, and the music that plays seems like no ordinary music. The person is so remarkable and captivating that they appear to have come out of a fairytale, like the mythical siren Lorelei. The singer has been waiting for a long time for someone like this to come into his life, and now that the person has arrived, he cannot imagine living without them. If the person were to leave, the singer would fly out of this world because he cannot live without them. He wants to spend eternity with them.
The song expresses a sense of wonder and admiration towards this person, but it also has an element of desperation. The singer is afraid of losing this amazing individual and is willing to do anything to stay with them. Consequently, the song also has an element of urgency and passion.
Line by Line Meaning
You're clear out of this world
You are exceptional, beyond what is normal or expected.
When I'm looking at you,
Whenever I look at you,
I hear out of this world
I hear music that is unlike anything ever heard before.
The music that no mortal ever knew.
The music that cannot be comprehended by ordinary people.
You're right out of a book,
You are like a character from a storybook.
The fairy tale I read when I was so high;
Like the fairytale I read as a child, you are magical and wondrous.
No armoured knight out of a book
There is no character in any storybook who is as enchanting as you.
Could find a more enchanted Lorelei than I.
No character could find someone as enthralling as you.
After waiting so long for the right time,
After waiting for the perfect moment for a long time,
After reaching so long for a star,
After striving for something great for so long,
All at once from the long and lonely night time,
Suddenly, from the prolonged and solitary darkness,
And despite time, here you are!
Despite the passage of time, you are here now!
I'd fly out of this world
I would be so devastated,
If you said we were through,
If you told me that we were over.
So let me fly out of this world
Allow me to escape the pain,
And spend the next eternity or two with you;
And spend an endless amount of time with you.
I'll spend the next eternity or two with you.
I will devote myself to being with you forever.
