Love Walked In

Words & Music by Ira & George Gershwin
Recorded by The Hilltoppers, 1953 (#8


C     Am7         Am7/G   D        D7       G7
Love walked right in and drove the shadows away;

C     Am7        Am7/G   D7          Cdim    G7
Love walked right in and brought my sunniest day.

C    C7          F                        Dm7
One magic moment   and my heart seemed to know

     Em7        A7             F    Dm7      G   G7
That love said "Hello" though not a word was spoken.


C    Am7    Am7/G    D        D7         G7
One look and  I  forgot the gloom of the past;

C    Am7    Am7/G     D7      Cdim       G7
One look and  I  had found my future at last;

C    C7            F        Dm7     Em7      A7
One look and I had found a world completely new

     Dm7  Cm7-5 Fdim G7   C
When love walked in with you.
