Joe Jackson - I'm Beginning To See The Light / Take The 'A' Train / Cotton Tail Lyrics

Joe Jackson Lyrics

"I'm Beginning To See The Light / Take The 'A' Train / Cotton Tail"
(originally by Duke Ellington)

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

Used to ramble in 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

Used to ramble in 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
I'm beginning to...light
