Some Enchanted Evening
Marilyn Horne & Samuel Ramey
Marilyn:
Born on the opposite sides of the sea,
We are as different as people can be.
Samuel:
It's true
Marilyn:
And yet you want to marry me.
Samuel:
I do!
Marilyn:
I've known a few short weeks and yet
Somehow you made my heart forget
All other men I have ever met but you, but you...
Samuel:
Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger,
You may see a stranger across a crowded room,
And somehow you know, you know even then,
That somehow you'll see here again and again.
Marilyn:
Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing,
You may hear him laughing across a crowded room,
And night after night, as strange as it seems,
The sound of his laughter will sing in your dreams.
Samuel:
Who can explain it? Who can tell you why?
Marilyn:
Fools give you reasons, wise men never try.
Samuel:
Some enchanted evening,
Marilyn:
When you find your true love,
Marilyn & Samuel:
When you hear him/her call you across a crowded room,
Samuel:
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,
Marilyn:
Once you have found him,
Marilyn & Samuel:
Never let him/her go.
