Love Walked in
Nat King Cole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nothing seemed to matter any more,
Didn't care what I was headed for.
Time was standing still,
No one counted till
There came a knocking at the door.

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 no 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.

The singer of the lyrics is shown to be in a state of deep despair before love suddenly walks in, waving away the darkness of his life.

However, upon falling in love, his life gains new meaning and colour.


The second line of the lyrics "Didn't care what I was headed for" shows that the singer was very much at a loss with his life, but after meeting the person he or she had fallen in love, the direction became ever so clearer. The third line hints that, at least for the singer, time began to stand or slow down, and the only thing that seemed to be of importance was the person that just walked in.


The last line shows that this moment was nothing less than magical for the singer as love in its most beautiful form had just walked in. The lyrics describe how love can sometimes feel short of words but the feelings themselves are enough to drive inconceivable feelings in the heart.
