Written：Ellington/Hodges/George/James I never cared much for moonlit skies, Never winked 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. I used to ramble through the park Shadow boxing in the dark Then you came and caused the spark That's a four-alarm fire, now. I never made love by lantern shine, I never saw rainbows in my wine, But now that your lips are burning mine I'm beginning to see the light. I never cared much for moonlit skies, I never winked 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. You know I used to ramble through the park Shadow boxing in the dark Then you came and lit that spark That's a four-alarm fire, now I never made love by lantern shine, I never saw rainbows in my wine, But now that your lips are burning mine I'm beginning to see the light.
