[NELLIE]
Wonder how I'd feel
Livin' on a hillside
Lookin' on an ocean
Beautiful and still

[EMILE]
This is what I need
This is what I've longed for
Someone young and smilin'
Climbin' up my hill!

[NELLIE]
We are not alike
Probably I'd bore him
He's a cultured Frenchman
I'm a little hick

[EMILE]
Younger men than I
Officers and doctors
Probably pursue her
She could have her pick

[NELLIE]
Wonder why I feel
Jittery and jumpy!
I'm like a school girl
Waitin' for a dance
[EMILE]
Can I ask her now?
I am like a school boy!
What will be her answer?
Do I have a chance?

*Instrumental*

[EMILE]
Some enchanted evening
You may see a stranger
You may see a stranger across a crowded room
And somehow you know
You'll 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 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 feel her call you across a crowded room
Then fly to her side
And make her your own
For, 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!
