Out of This World
Payne Freda 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.

You're clear out of this world
You are exceptional, extraordinary

I hear something incredibly unique and special
The music that no mortal ever knew.
A sound that transcends human understanding and experience.
You're right out of a book,
You are like a character from a fairy tale
The fairy tale I read when I was so high;
A story I read when I was young and hopeful

Could ever find a more magical and captivating person than you.
After waiting so long for the right time,
After a considerable amount of time waiting for the perfect moment
After reaching so long for a star,
After striving for something out of reach
All at once from the long and lonely night time,
Suddenly and despite any past feelings of loneliness
And despite time, here you are!
Even after so much time has passed, you are finally here.
I'd fly out of this world
I would be overcome with intense emotion
If you said we were through,
If you said we were no longer together
So let me fly out of this world
Let me be with you in eternity
And spend the next eternity or two with you;
Spend an indefinite amount of time with you, forever and then some.
I'll spend the next eternity or two with you.
I am committed to being with you for an infinite amount of time.
