I'm Beginning to See the Light
Darin Bobby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 when you turn the lamp down low
I 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
And I never saw rainbows in my wine
But now that your lips are burning mine
I'm beginning to see the light
I 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
And I never went in for afterglow
Or candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light
You know I used to ramble through the park
Shadow boxing in the dark
Then you came and lip that 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-hmm to see the light

Used to ramble through the park
I used to wander aimlessly through the park
Shadow boxing in the dark
Wasting my time in meaningless activities like shadow boxing in the dark
Then you came and caused a spark
But then you appeared and ignited a spark of light and energy within me
That's a four-alarm fire now
That spark has now turned into an intense, passionate fire burning within me
I never made love by lantern shine
I never experienced the romantic atmosphere created by the glow of a lantern
I never saw rainbows in my wine
I never appreciated the beauty of the colors dancing in my glass of wine
But now that your lips are burning mine
But now that I am kissing you passionately, I am beginning to see the beauty in everything around me
I'm beginning to see the light.
I am starting to see things in a different light and appreciate the beauty that surrounds me, thanks to you.
