Love walked right in,
Love suddenly entered my life,
And drove the shadows away
And eradicated all the sadness, worries and troubles I had before it appeared,
And brought my sunniest day
And illuminated my life with the brightest light,
One magic moment,
A single, enchanting moment,
And my heart seemed to know - that love said hello
And my heart felt that love had come to meet me in that moment,
Though not a word was spoken
Even though no one said anything out loud,
One look, and I'd forgot
Once I saw your face, I instantly forgot,
The gloom of the past
All the sadness, pain and hardships of my past,
One look, and I had found
Just by one glance, I had discovered,
My future at last
My future, which I had always dreamed about, had finally arrived,
One look, and I had found
Just by one glance, I had discovered,
A world completely new
A whole new world that I had never seen before,
When love walked in with you
When love entered my life through you,
