Duke Ellington — Im Beginning to See the Light

[Instrumental] [Verse 1] 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 [Bridge] Used to ramble through the park Shadowboxing in the dark Then you came and caused a spark That's a four-alarm fire now [Verse 2] 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 [Instrumental]
