Dagafsluiter: I Saw The Light

Perfect geproduceerde pop van Todd Rundgren. Het ‘experimentele’ werk van Rundgren uit de jaren ’70 levert me vooral koppijn op, maar als liedjessmid behoorde hij tot de top. Van zijn beste album, ‘Something/Anything?’.

 It was late last night
I was feeling something wasn’t right
There was not another soul in sight
Only you, only you
So we walked along,
though I knew there was something wrong
And the feeling so strong about you
Then you gazed up at me and the answer was plain to see
‘Cause I saw the light in your eyes

Though we had our fling
I just never would suspect a thing
‘Til that little bell began to ring in my head
In my head
But I tried to run,
though I knew it wouldn’t help me none
‘Cause I couldn’t ever love no one, or so I said
But my feelings for you
were just something I never knew
‘Til I saw the light in your eyes

But I love you best
It’s not something that I say in jest
‘Cause you’re different, girl, from all the rest
In my eyes
And I ran out before but I won’t do it anymore
Can’t you see the light in my eyes
