I'M BEGINNING TO SEE THE LIGHT Harry James - words and music by Harry James, Duke Ellington, Johnny Hodges and Don George - lyrics as recorded by Kitty Kallen with Harry James and his Orchestra in 1945 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 Used to ramble through the park Shadowboxing 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 ---------------------------------------
