I'm Beginning To See The Light

I'm Beginning To See The Light
music & lyric by Duke Ellington (left), Harry James (center), Johnny Hodges (upper right) & Don George

I never cared much for moonlit skies, I never cared much for 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 misteltoe,
But now when you turn the lights down low---I'm beginning to see the light.

Used to ramble through the park--shadow boxing in the dark--
Then you came and caused a 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...
