Light of Love

Listen to the song

Recorded by: The Pleasure Seekers
Written by: G. Fischoff/Carole Bayer

“LIGHT OF LOVE”, MERCURY SINGLE, RELEASED APRIL, 1968, WAS RECORDED AT MERCURY STUDIOS, AS THE FIRST PLEASURE SEEKERS SINGLE ON THE NATIONAL LABEL. THE SINGLE DID WELL, CHARTING IN SEVERAL REGIONS. FAMOUS GRAMMY WINNING WRITERS: G. FISCHOFF, AND A VERY YOUNG CAROLE BAYER (LATER BAYER-SAGER) PENNED THE TUNE, WHICH WAS ALSO RECORDED LATER BY THE CHERRY PEOPLE (AS WAS POPULAR TO USE HOUSE PENNED TUNES FOR MORE THAN ONE GROUP IN THAT ELUSIVE HUNT FOR A RADIO HIT SINGLE, WHEN BREAKING NEW GROUPS). FOR LIVE PERFORMANCE, THE GROUP LATER SLOWED THE TUNE DOWN AND FUNKED IT UP, MAKING IT MORE TO THEIR HEAVIER STYLE.

Lyrics

HEY HEY HEY HEY, LET’S KEEP IT GOIN, HEY HEY HEY HEY,

DON’T CHA KNOW IT BLOWS MY MIND WHEN IT’S GLOWING BABY

LIGHT OF LOVE, BURN THE NIGHT AWAY, LIGHT OF LOVE, SEE IT SHINE
LIGHT OF LOVE, TURNIN ON MY DAY, SHOWIN ME THE WAY IT SUITS YOUR MIND

EVERY DAY WAS DARK AND LONELY FOR ME,
THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD SEE
THERE WAS A SUN IN THE SKY,
NOW I’M RIDIN ON A RAINBOW THAT’S MOVIN
EVERYTHING’S BEEN A-GROOVIN SINCE YOU CAME ON BY

WHEN YOU TOUCH ME THERE’S SO MUCH THAT I’M FEELIN
EVERYTHING STARTS A REELIN ALL AROUND IN MY MIND,
WHEN WE KISS I SEE THE LIGHTS OF THE CITY,
TURNIN ON OH SO PRETTY THAT THEY MAKE ME BLIND
