You′re a girl from Chicago on the road with a show

Not a soul in New Haven you can say you know

You wish you were a mile or so from Michigan Lake

Home with your mother and a T-bone steak

Then along comes a fella with a smile like a kid

And he gets your attention with a timely bid

He says he knows a bistro where they give you a break

With French fried potatoes and a T-bone steak

You are shy and uncertain, but he pleads and you yield

And you don't have an inkling that you′re signed and sealed

By merely telling someone you'd be glad to partake

Of French fried potatoes and a T-bone steak

That's the way it happens

That′s the way it happens

That′s the way it happened to me!

You're a guy from New Haven on the road with a show

There′s a girl in the company that you hardly know

You watch her and you wonder if she'd like to partake

Of French fried potatoes and a T-bone steak

Then along comes a fella who is quicker than you

You sure great in the show

Oh, thanks

Wanna grab a bite to eat?

And he does what you thought that you would like to do

Gee, it′s kinda late

I know a swell place

He takes her to a bistro where they give you a break

With French fried potatoes and a T-bone steak

Great steaks, and you'll love the band

I′d be glad to!

Now you see them together and you know in your heart

That you lost what you wanted from the very start

Because you didn't ask her if she'd like to partake

I guess I was hungrier than I thought

Of French fried potatoes and a T-bone steak

You start to light her cigarette

And all at once you love her

You′ve scarcely talked

You′ve scarcely met

But all at once you love her

You like her eyes, you tell her so

She thinks you're wise and clever

You kiss goodnight and then you know

You′ll kiss goodnight forever

You wonder where your heart can go

And all at once you know

You start to light her cigarette

And all at once you love her

You've scarcely talked (You′ve scarcely talked)

You've scarcely met (You′ve scarcely met)

But all at once you love her

You like her eyes, you tell her so

She thinks you're wise and clever

You kiss goodnight (You kiss goodnight)

And then you know (And then you know)

You'll kiss goodnight forever

You wonder where your heart can go

And all at once (And all at once)

You know

A bell is no bell till you ring it

A song is no song till you sing it

And love in your heart wasn′t put there to stay

Love isn′t love till you give it away

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 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 (Some enchanted evening)

When you find your true love (She will call you in a crowded room)

When you hear her call you across a crowded room

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

Once you have found her, never let her go
