Duke Ellington
I’m Beginning to See the Light / Take the ‘A’ Train / Cotton Tail
[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 your lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light
[Bridge]
Used to ramble in 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 Break]
[Bridge]
Used to ramble in the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and caused a spark
That's a four-alarm fire now
[Outro]
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'm beginning to...light
