Edison Lighthouse was the alias of songwriters and producers Tony McCaulay and Barry Mason, with session vocalist Tony Burrows' vocals on the hit 'Love Grows', although members of the group Greenfield Hammer were eventually brought in to perpetuate the image of a real working band.
After the success of "Love Grows", Fradkin returned from New York City to join this newly formed British group as an original member of Edison Lighthouse. The recording of "Love Grows" proved to be a worldwide success reaching number five in the USA on the Billboard singles hot 100 chart in February 1970 and became a number-one hit the world over, selling a total of eight million copies. In fact, for the whole of 1970 it was the number-two selling pop record in the U.K.

Edison Lighthouse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her clothes are kinda funny
Her hair is kinda wild and free
Oh, but Love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me
She talks kinda lazy
And people say she she's crazy
Oh, but Love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me
There's something about her hand holding mine
It's a feeling that's fine
And I just gotta say
She's really got a magical spell
And it's working so well
That I can't get away
I'm a lucky fella
And I've just got to tell her
That I love her endlessly
Because Love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me
There's something about her hand holding mine
It's a feeling that's fine
And I just gotta say
She's really got a magical spell
And it's working so well
That I can't get away
I'm a lucky fella
And I've just got to tell her
That I love her endlessly
Because Love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me
Fadeout:
It keeps growing every place she's been
And nobody knows like me
If you've met her, you'll never forget her
And nobody knows like me
La la la- believe it when you've seen it
Nobody knows like me

Line by Line Meaning
She ain't got no money
Although Rosemary is not wealthy,
Her clothes are kinda funny
Her attire is a bit out-of-the-ordinary,
Her hair is kinda wild and free
Her hair is styled in a way that’s carefree and whimsical,
Oh, but Love grows where my Rosemary goes
Despite all of this, I’ve found love with her,
And nobody knows like me
And no one else understands our connection like I do
She talks kinda lazy
Her speech pace is slow and relaxed,
And people say she she's crazy
Some think she is mentally unstable,
And her life's a mystery
No one really knows much about her past or current circumstances,
There's something about her hand holding mine
Whenever she holds my hand, it seems to create something special,
It's a feeling that's fine
It’s a pleasant sensation,
And I just gotta say
I have to admit,
She's really got a magical spell
She possesses some sort of enchanting quality,
And it's working so well
It’s affecting me in a positive way,
That I can't get away
I’m drawn to her and can’t escape the feeling,
I'm a lucky fella
I consider myself fortunate with her by my side,
And I've just got to tell her
I must express my feelings to her,
That I love her endlessly
As I have a deep, never-ending love for her,
Fadeout:
Song slowly fades out
It keeps growing every place she's been
My love for her continues to flourish everywhere she goes,
And nobody knows like me
And only I can understand this.
If you've met her, you'll never forget her
If you’ve ever met Rosemary, she’s someone you’d never forget,
And nobody knows like me
And our bond is unique and incomprehensible to others,
La la la- believe it when you've seen it
Believe it once you’ve witnessed it first-hand,
Nobody knows like me
Only I can truly comprehend our deep love.
