   D#6         B7  A#7 D# 
I never cared much for moonlit skies 
              B7  A#7 B7 
I never wink back at fireflies 
    D#6                A#7 D# A#m  C7 
But now that the stars are in your eyes 
       F7        Fm7  A#7   D#  (D#dim A#7) 
I'm beginning to see the light 
  D#6        B7  A#7 D#   
I never went in for afterglow 
   D#6         B7 A#7 B7 
Or candlelight on the mistletoe 
    D#6                A#7 D#  A#m  C7 
But now when you turn the lamp down low 
       F7        Fm7  A#7   D# 
I'm beginning to see the light 
G7 
Used to ramble through the park 
F#7 
Shadow boxing in the dark 
F7 
Then you came and caused a spark 
          B7               Fm7  A#7 
That's a four-alarm fire now 
   D#6        B7  A#7 D# 
I never made love by lantern-shine 
              B7 A#7 B7 
I never saw rainbows in my wine 
     D#                A#7 D#  A#m  C7 
But now that your lips are burning mine 
Fm7  A#7   D#    D#dim A#9 
I'm beginning to see the light

But now that your lips are burning mine

I'm beginning to see the light        
   D#6        B7  A#7 D# 
I never made love by lantern-shine 
              B7 A#7 B7 
I never saw rainbows in my wine 
     D#                A#7 D#  A#m   C7 
But now that your lips are burning mine 
       F7       Fm7  A#7   D#     A#7/13 D#   
I'm beginning to see the light
