Lights
Dancers Lyrics

I never cared much for moonlit skies
Moonlit skies never caught my interest

I never wink back at fireflies
I never gave attention to fireflies and their flickering lights

But now that the stars are in your eyes
Now, because the stars reflect in your eyes, I feel captivated and drawn towards them

I'm beginning to see the light
I'm starting to understand things that I didn't quite comprehend before

I never went in for afterglow
I wasn't interested in the glow that lingers after a sunset

Or candlelight on the mistletoe
Nor was I fond of the traditional romantic setting of candlelight under mistletoe

But now when you turn the lamp down low
But now, when you dim the lights in the room, I am enraptured by the atmosphere

Used to ramble through the park
I used to wander aimlessly through the park, with no real purpose

Shadowboxing in the dark
I used to act out and fight imaginary shadows in the darkness

Then you came and caused a spark
But then, you came into my life and ignited something in me

That's a four-alarm fire now
That spark has now grown into a raging fire that cannot be contained

I never made love by lantern-shine
I never experienced the romantic setting of making love by the light of a lantern

I never saw rainbows in my wine
I never found beauty or wonder in the simple pleasures of life, like the colors of a sunset reflected in a glass of wine

But now that your lips are burning mine
But now, being close to you and feeling the heat of your embrace, I am starting to appreciate these simple pleasures

I'm beginning to see the light
I'm starting to understand the beauty and joy that life can bring
