Out Of This World
The Rat Pack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're clear out of this world
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
Could find a more enchanted Lorelei than I.

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.

Line by Line Meaning

You're clear out of this world
You're exceptional; you're beyond what anyone could imagine or expect.


When I'm looking at you,
Whenever I gaze upon you,


I hear out of this world
I hear something otherworldly; I hear something that is not of this world.


The music that no mortal ever knew.
The music that is beyond worldly understanding, something that is only meant for the heavens.


You're right out of a book,
You're like a character from a storybook;


The fairy tale I read when I was so high;
The fantasy that I read when I was young and naive;


No armoured knight out of a book
No knight in shining armor from any fairytale book,


Could find a more enchanted Lorelei than I.
Could find someone as magically enchanting as you.


After waiting so long for the right time,
After enduring a long period of waiting for the perfect moment,


After reaching so long for a star,
After tirelessly striving to reach a distant, unreachable goal,


All at once from the long and lonely night time,
Suddenly, from the endless and lonely nights,


And despite time, here you are!
And even though time has passed, you're finally here with me!


I'd fly out of this world
I'd go to great lengths,


If you said we were through,
If you decided to end our relationship,


So let me fly out of this world
So let me love you beyond this world,


And spend the next eternity or two with you;
And spend an immeasurable amount of time with you, forever loving you.


I'll spend the next eternity or two with you.
I'll always love you and spend the rest of my life with you.
