I [D7]never cared [G7]much for [C]moonlit [C7]skies I [Dm7]never wink [G7]back at [D7]fire[A7]flies But [G7]now that the stars are [Em7]in your [Am7]eyes I’m be[Dm7]ginning to [G7]see the [C7]light

I [D7]never went [G7]in for [C7]afterglow Or [D7]candlelight [G7]on the [D7]mistle[A7]toe But [D7]now when you turn the [Em7]lamp down [Am7]low I’m be[D7]ginning to [G7]see the [C7]light

[Bm7]Used to ramble [E7]through the park [Bb7]Shadowboxing [Eb7]in the dark [Am7]Then you came and [D7]caused a spark That’s a [Eb7]fouralarm fire [G7]now

I [D7]never [F7]made [Bb]love by [Cm7]lantern[Eb7]shine I [D7]never saw [G7]rainbows [Eb7]in my wine But [D7]now that your lips are [Em7]burning [D7]mine I’m be[G7]ginning to see the [C7]light [A]
