Out of Nowhere
Charlie Parker Quartet with Joe Lipman & His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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.
The lyrics to "Nowhere" by Charlie Barnet and His Orchestra are about the unexpected arrival of love. The singer expresses how their love interest appeared out of nowhere and took their heart, making every moment together feel like wonderful dreams and schemes. However, the singer acknowledges that their love interest could leave just as suddenly as they arrived, returning to their nowhere. Despite this possibility, the singer vows to wait for their love interest's return with open arms.
Through the lyrics, the song captures the feeling of being swept off one's feet by love and the uncertainty of that love sticking around. The use of "nowhere" emphasizes the idea that the love interest appeared seemingly out of thin air and could disappear just as easily. The lyrics describe a sense of hopefulness, but also a sense of reluctance to fully trust in the love that has arrived.
Overall, "Nowhere" conveys the idea that love can appear unexpectedly and change one's life, but it is not always a steady or reliable force.
