I'm Beginning to See the Light

Artist: Natalie Cole

Album: Take a Look

Song Length: 3:29

George's Thoughts: Most versions of this song are timed much faster, almost at Quickstep speed. This one is delightful to listen to, timed just right, and uses the beat perfectly for Slow Foxtrot.

Song Lyrics:

never cared much for moonlit skies
I never wink back at fireflies
But now that the stars are in you 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

Used to ramble through the park
Shadow boxing 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
