Instruments include bells, audible especially during the first half-minute, and orchestral strings. Jay sounds almost like an opera singer as his character wonders why he and Cara must say goodbye every time they cease physical togetherness. He promises that he'll love her for eternity.
13. Some Enchanted Evening (2:16) - The tempo is moderate. Like the previous song, this one starts slow and features orchestral string instruments and bells. One of these evenings, when the narrator's pal is at a dance hall, he'll spot a girl and fall in love with her. The narrator advises his pal never to let that girl go once he's found her.


Mike, these are the exact two Jay and The Americans songs on my custom "Best" compilation CD! 



 

The Rossano Brazzi version of the latter from the 1958 "South Pacific" is incredible, too.
