Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
One magic moment and my heart seemed to know that love said hello
Though not a word was spoken
One look and I had found a world completely new
When love walked in with you
The Dave Brubeck Octet's classic tune, "Love Walked In," captures the transformative power of love in the lives of those who welcome it. The unmistakable message is that when love finally arrives, it brings a new light, and everything seems and feels remarkably different. The song is rich with metaphor and is relatable, as it is a tribute to the unmatched powers of love.
The opening lines suggest that love, the great equalizer, has the incredible ability to drive away all shadows from one's life. Love illuminates the darkness, showing that everything may not be as it seems. Love brings a sunny day that may have eluded us seemingly forever. The words "One magic moment and my heart seemed to know that love said hello," poetically and succinctly signify the unmistakable way in which true love can make itself known, even without expression.
The second stanza of "Love Walked In" suggests the possibility of finding one's future in a single look that can dispel the darkness of the past. The line "One look and I had found my future at last" is a testament to the power of intuition and a feeling of knowing that something or someone is right for us. Finally, the line: "One look and I had found a world completely new when love walked in with you," suggests that love is all-consuming and can impact all areas of our lives, bringing a fresh perspective and a new perspective that transforms our outlook.
