Some Enchanted Evening
Jay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You may see a stranger across a crowded room
And somehow you know, you know even then
That somewhere you'll see her again and again
Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing
You may hear her laughing across a crowded room
And night after night, as strange as it seemsThe sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams
Who can explain it, who can tell you why
Fools give you reasons, wise men never try
Some enchanted evening, when you find your true love
When you feel her call you across a crowded room
Then fly to her side and make her your own
Or all through your life you may dream all alone
Once you have found her, never let her go
Once you have found her, never let her go
The song "Some Enchanted Evening" by Jay* is a romantic ballad that speaks about the beginning of a love that was meant to be. The song tells the story of a chance encounter with a stranger in a crowded room, and the feeling of certainty that this stranger will be seen again and again. The lyrics describe a magical moment when the sound of a woman's laughter can be heard from across the room and the hope that this laughter will continue to echo in one's dreams. The chorus questions the nature of this enchanting feeling and why it happens, with the observation that only fools try to explain it while wise men never do. The ending of the song delivers a message of hope and a warning, encouraging the listener to seize the opportunity of true love when it presents itself and to never let it go.
The song was first published in 1949 and is a show tune from the musical "South Pacific" composed by Richard Rodgers, with lyrics written by Oscar Hammerstein II. The musical tells the story of an American nurse stationed on a South Pacific island during World War II, who falls in love with a French expatriate. "Some Enchanted Evening" is a duet sung between the two characters and is performed during their first meeting. The song has been covered by numerous artists, including Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, and Perry Como. "Some Enchanted Evening" has become a standard of the American songbook and is known for its timeless message of hope in love.
Line by Line Meaning
Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger,
On an enjoyable night, it's possible that you could spot a person you don't know.
You may see a stranger across a crowded room,
There could be a crowd of people, but you still manage to spot that unfamiliar person.
And somehow you know, you know even then,
For some reason, you have a feeling that you'll see this person again in the future.
That somehow you'll see here again and again.
That person will continue to appear in your life repeatedly.
Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing,
Similarly to before, during another enjoyable night, someone may be laughing.
You may hear her laughing across a crowded room,
Once again, there's a large number of people, but you still manage to hear that specific laughter.
And night after night, as strange as it seems,
Even though it may seem odd, that laughter will continue to echo in your mind every night.
The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams.
That laughter will always be on your mind, even as you sleep.
Who can explain it, who can tell you why?
It's a mystery that nobody can clarify; wise individuals don't even bother trying.
Fools give you reasons, wise men never try.
Only foolish people attempt to find a logical explanation, while wise people accept and embrace the unknown.
Some enchanted evening, when you find your true love,
One day, during one of those special evenings, you'll discover your soulmate.
When you hear her call you across a crowded room,
Even in a crowded area, you'll hear her voice calling out to you.
Then fly to her side and make her your own,
When you find her, don't hesitate to be by her side and make her yours.
Or all through your life you may dream all alone.
If you don't take that chance and pursue her, you'll spend the rest of your life dreaming of what could have been.
Once you have found her, never let her go,
And if you're lucky enough to find her, make sure you never let her go.
Once you have found her, never let her go.
It's so important that it bears repeating: never let her go.
