[Verse 1]
Yes 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 that you've turned the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light, yes
[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
[Verse 3]
Yes I never cared much for moonlit skies
Never wink back at fireflies
But now that the stars are in your eyes
I'm beginning
I never went in for afterglow
Or candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down low
I'm beginning
[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 chops are burning mine
I'm beginning
