Song
"Some Enchanted Evening" is a show tune from the 1949 Rodgers and HammersteinmusicalSouth Pacific.
It has been described as "the single biggest popular hit to come out of any Rodgers and Hammerstein show."[1]Andrew Lloyd Webber describes it as the "greatest song ever written for a musical".[2]
The song is a three-verse solo for the leading male character, Emile, in which he describes first seeing a stranger, knowing that he will see her again, then dreaming of hearing her laughter and finally of feeling her call him.
He sings that when you find your "true love", you must "fly to her side, and make her your own, / Or all through your life you may dream all alone." The song has been called "a marvelous distillation of love at first sight [but also] a reflection for mature people who've known it and lived it".[3]
