Ellington: I'm Beginning To See The Light

I never cared much for moonlit skies

I never wink back at fireflies

But now that the stars are in your eyes

I'm beginning to see the light

I never went in for afterglow

Or candlelight on the mistletoe

But now when you turn the lamp down low

I'm beginning to see the light

Used to ramble through the park

Shadowboxing in the dark

Then you came and caused a spark

That's a four-alarm fire now

I never made love by lantern-shine

Never saw rainbows in my wine

But now that your lips are burning mine

I'm beginning to see the light

Oh yeah

I never cared much for moonlit skies

Never wink back at fireflies

Now that the stars are in your eyes

I'm beginning to see the light

I'm beginning to see the light

Used to ramble through the park

Shadowboxing in the dark

Then you came and caused a spark

That's a four-alarm fire now

I never made love by lantern-shine

Never saw rainbows in my wine

But now when your lips are burning mine

I'm beginning to see the light

Now that your lips are burning mine

I'm beginning to see the light
