Lyrics
Love's Been Looking for Me
Amy Benton
Amanda Williams
It was there that night at the county fair
On the Ferris Wheel waiting but I was too scared
And it was two cars back at the drive in show
I must've walked right past didn't even know
Chorus
Love's been looking for me
Love's gonna find me yet
Love is always gonna have it's way you bet
When I fall behind or get way ahead
Love's been looking for me
Love's been looking for me
Once it called my name where I could barely hear
And before I was sure it had disappeared
Thought I saw it once gazing in his eye
But it was wishful thinking in a cruel disguise
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
I've been restless as a child, running till the road dead ends
I'm going home, I'll leave the window open and love, you can climb right in
