Out of Nowhere
Caterina Valente (with Sy Oliver & His Orchestra) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You came to me from out of nowhere
You took my heart and found it free
Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere
Made every hour sweet as a flower to me
And if you should go back to your nowhere
Leaving me with the memory
I'll always wait for your return out of nowhere
Hoping you'll bring your love to me.

When I least expected, kindly fate directed
You to make each dream of mine come true
And if it's clear or raining there is no explaining
Things just happened and so did you.

You came to me from out of nowhere
You took my heart and you found it free
Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere
Made every hour sweet as a flower to me
And if you should go back to your nowhere
Leaving me with, with the memory




I'll always wait for your return out of nowhere
Hoping you'll bring your love to me.

I absolutely love when she tells him "that's enough" at 1:49 and does it in tempo and key.

For non guitar players, what she's doing isn't easy at all. She's having a full on conversation with abrupt interjections that have no rhythm and is still playing without missing a single note. Simply spectacular

@Nomo_Popo

yes, bossa nova is tricky to play and a lot of times even trickier to sing at the same time because of the syncopation. Skills!

Good old muscle memory.

@philsurtees

I'm not sure what planet you're from, or what video you were watching, but in THIS video that is NOT what's happening, and there is NOTHING very difficult about what she's doing. That's not to say it isn't entertaining, it's just not what you described AT ALL...
