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

You came to me from out of nowhere
You appeared unexpectedly in my life
You took my heart and found it free
You liberated my heart and soul
Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere
I had no expectations, but you brought dreams and plans into my life

Fabulous. Teddy Wilson was as classy as it gets. Horne’s voice in this is just beautiful.
Perry Weiner
Her voice is beautiful here, pure and melodious--never better. And the musicians are first rate. The same ones who played behind Billie Holiday during the '30's!

I always loved Lena's beautiful singing voice, the songs she chose to sing, her movies and her style. She could wear anything and it looked glamorous on her. Her face, eyes, nose and mouth were so wonderfully sculptured. For the longest time I did not know she was black. She claimed to be black, but to me she was just a fabulous woman, with loads of talent, no matter her color. Thanks for sharing these CD's. . .SYLVIA! 11/2020
