Out of Nowhere
The Charlie Shavers & Ray Bryant Quartet 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 for me

If you should go back to your nowhere
Leaving me with a memory
I'll always wait for your return out of nowhere
Hoping you'll bring your love to me





Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Out Of Nowhere" by The Charlie Shavers & Ray Bryant Quartet depict a beautiful and unexpected love story. The first lines, "You came to me from out of nowhere, You took my heart and found it free," suggest that the singer's love interest suddenly appeared in their life and freed their heart from its previous limitations. This person brought light and joy, as expressed by the words "wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes" that came out of nowhere. Each moment spent with this person became incredibly precious, symbolized by the comparison of time to a sweet flower.


However, there is also a sense of uncertainty and potential separation in the lyrics. The singer expresses the fear of the love interest going back to their "nowhere," a place that may represent their previous life or a distant location. If this happens, the singer would be left with only memories, but they still hold hope for their return. The final lines, "Hoping you'll bring your love to me," convey a longing for the love interest to come back, suggesting that their love was deep and meaningful.

I am now endeavoring to catch up on the melodic and harmonic excellence of Charlie Shavers - and Erskine Hawkins, and Roy Eldridge whom I continue to enjoy.
