Lena Horne & Teddy Wilson And 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 of Lena Horne's song "Out of Nowhere" express the overwhelming feeling of falling in love unexpectedly. The lyrics suggest that the person she is singing to came into her life unexpectedly and took her heart, giving her a sense of freedom that she had not experienced before. The dreams and schemes that they shared together, which seemingly came out of nowhere, brought a sense of sweetness to every moment they spent together. Horne sings that if this person were to go back to their "nowhere," a place that represents being without love, she would wait for their return, hoping that they would bring their love back to her.
The lyrics of "Out of Nowhere" capture the feeling of being swept off one's feet and falling in love before fully realizing it. Horne's words reflect the way in which love can come from unexpected places and transform one's life. Instead of being afraid of the unknown, she sings of surrendering oneself to the feeling and embracing the sweet moments that love can bring. The song celebrates the magic that can happen when one least expects it and reminds us of the power of love in our lives.

You came to me from out of nowhere
Unexpectedly, you entered my life
You took my heart and found it free
You brought love and liberty to my heart
Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere
Imaginative and creative ideas emerged from this unpredictable situation
Made every hour sweet as a flower to me
Life became enjoyable and beautiful with you by my side

In the event that you leave and disappear without reason
Leaving me with the memory
Only a memory of you will remain with me
I'll always wait for your return out of nowhere
I will long for your unexpected return, whenever that may be
Hoping you'll bring your love to me
Hoping you'll bring back the love you once offered me
