Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger

you may see a stranger across a crowded room,

an' 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,

an' night after night as strange as it seems

the 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 hear her call you across a crowded room,

then fly to her side and make her your own

or all thru 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!



Music by Richard Rodgers

with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, 1949
