Lyrics:

Oh, baby
Well, there's a light in your eye that keeps shinin', like a star that can't wait for night
I hate to think I've been blinded, baby, why can't I see you tonight
And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin', and the thrill of your touch gives me fright
And I'm shakin' so much, really yearnin', why don'cha show up and make it alright, yeah, that's alright

And if you promised your love so completely, and you said you would always be true
You swore that you never would leave me, baby, whatever happened to you
And you thought it was only in you, as you wished all your dreams would come true, hey
It ain't the first time, believe me, baby, I'm standin' here feelin' blue, blue, ha, feelin' blue, now

Oh, babe
Now, I will stand in the rain on the corner, I'll watch the people go shufflin' downtown
Another ten minutes, no longer, and then I'm turnin' around, 'round
And the clock on the wall's movin' slower, oh, my heart, it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over, clouds the light of the love that I found, found
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found, oh, that I found

Hey, babe
Oooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh, hand of the clock
well, it just don't seem to stop when I'm thinking it over
Woo, time is alive and I just don't wanna be fined
Gotta get away, get away
Whoa, ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh, I see you in my dream
But I just don't see you with me
I've gotta get home, gotta get home, gotta get home
I've gotta get ohh, home

(Guitar Solo)

Ooh, now, my body is startin' to quiver, and the palms of my hands gettin' wet, oh
I got no reason to doubt you, baby, It's all a terrible mess
And I'll run in the rain 'till I'm breathless, when I'm breathless, I'll run 'till I drop, hey
The thoughts of a fool's kinda careless, I'm just a fool waitin' on the wrong block, oh-whoa, yeah
Hey, now, ohhh-whoa-hoh-hoh

Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I, light of the love that I found
Light of the, hey, now, light of the, hey, now
Light of the love that I found, light of the love that I found
