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
