I'm Beginning To See The Light - Original - Kitty Kallen, The Harry James Orchestra

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.
