Liner Notes

Since I started with FAWM three years ago, I've relied on lyrics from Carroll Kiphen seventeen times. That should tell you something about the regard I have for Carroll's skills with lyrics.

Lyrics

I searched for love all over, went to New York and L.A.
Small towns across the Midwest and even Pittsburg, P.A.
I searched in every corner in cafes and backroom bars
At traveling tent revivals and resorts with five stars

I'd all but given up on love, thought my journey was at an end
When the elevator opened and you came walking in
Just when I had lost all hope, love came walking in

Your hand brushed against my hand, it seemed we shared the same floor
We walked and talked down the hallway, found our rooms were right next door
An hour or so later, we met again outside
I knew I'd found love at last when you looked in my eyes

I'd all but given up on love, thought my journey was at an end
When the elevator opened and you came walking in
Just when I had lost all hope, love came walking in

We shared a bottle of Bordeaux, stayed up and talked all night
We even talked politics and avoided a fight
In the morning you kissed me and said, "I'll see you tonight"
My heart knew at that moment that I'd gotten it right

You see, I searched for love all over, went to New York and L.A.
Small towns across the Midwest and even Pittsburg, P.A.
I searched in every corner in cafes and backroom bars
At traveling tent revivals and resorts with five stars

I'd all but given up on love, thought my journey was at an end
When the elevator opened and you came walking in
Just when I had lost all hope, love came walking in

This is one my favorites! I am a sucker for a good love song and a believer in the spontaneous nature of finding of love. It is a great message and it sings and dances with that lovely upbeat gentle melody. Makes me smile!

Paul,.
Thanks for the good words on Glow line Tetra. Love Came in is a great song. Good lyrics. Good presentation. I hope you met the lady in Pittsburgh 'cause that's where FAWM is based. Also I'm a member of the Pittsburgh NSAI branch. We meet by zoom this Sunday at 6:30

Well, I've lived in "small towns across the Midwest" and my girlfriend is from "Pettsburg, PA" so thanks for singing this Valentine's Day song to us!

Great collaboration, you two! ❤️
