Love Walked in
Dinah Washington & Brook Benton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love walked right in and drove the shadows away
Love walked right in and brought my sunniest day
One magic moment and my heart seemed to know
That love said "Hello" though not a word was spoken

One look and I forgot the gloom of the past
One look and I had found my future at last
One look and I had found a world completely new
When love walked in with you

Believe it or not. Years ago when you bought a bag of Lays Potato Chips you were given a 45 as a prize. I was lucky enough to get this record, which I still have, by the way.
