Im Beginning To See The Light
Ink Spots and Ella Fitzgerald Lyrics

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 never cared much for moonlit skies
I never winked back at fire flies
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 the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light

Used to ramble through 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 never cared much for moonlit skies
I never winked back at fire flies
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 the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light

Used to ramble through 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, boy

Beginning to see the light, boy
Beginning to see the light

Now that your lips they are burning on mine
I'm beginning to see the light

62 years ago, my parents bought two albums I remember. The Ink Spots and Jack Teagarden.

I only heard of the ink spots via the fallout games and man im so glad. They are IMO one of the best bands of thr 1930s and 1940s

Give Sam Cooke a listen if you haven't. The ink spots were a huge influence for him. He even toured with them when Sam was still in the soul stirrers. Beautifully unique voice

It's funny, but I'd always heard the Ink Spots over the years and didn't pay much attention. But, since listening to them here I can't get enough. Especially since learning more about Bill Kenny.

Peter Taylor Bill Kenny was the greatest in my opinion. That voice and that totally unique style. He was always himself, and always so different.

@@AustinCasey They had differences and it seems he couldn't see the point in rehearsing, whereas they could. There were obvious jealousies but by heaven, he was the sound that made them famous. I think I must have been born far too late...

I got into playing fallout 4 again recently and was delighted when I discovered diamond city radio the second time round. I knew it existed but just never gave it my ear. That game has introduced me to the ink spots and I am forever grateful for it.

@NutnRoll

It's dark, but you're shadowboxing at the park. Then a person comes to cause a spark. It rhymes but it doesn't make sense.

@virvisquevir3320

NoWhereEveryWhere - He used to do useless, pointless things - "ramble through the park, shadowbox in the dark" - then she came and caused a spark - lit the flame of love - and now he sees the light, now he understands. Of course, in the dark, there is no shadow so it's impossible to shadowbox, everybody knows that, it's imagery - dark imagery, anti-imagery - to bring out the utter futility of his actions before he saw the light through the spark she caused...

I know it's stupid -- but I don't like listening to the 'old' music when it's too digitally "cleaned up"; it has to have that old time, sort of muffled recording feel...
