First verse as originally posted:

Under the Lights

Your eyes upon me tonight (present tense)
Cause me such cheer
Everything I thought I knew about love
Changed the night I saw you (past tense)

----------------------------------------
Edited version:

Under the Lights

Your eyes upon me tonight =7
Bring such cheer I never knew =7
All I thought I knew of love =7
Has changed now that I've seen you =7

Here standing under the lights =7
Your beauty shines like the sun =7
Entrancing and with delight =7
On white skin my fingers run =7
I'm unsure of what to do =7

Your eyes upon me tonight =7
Take away all of my fear =7
In its place is now courage =7
Not seen before you were near =7
And its all because of you =7 (rhyme with "do" in above stanza)

Here standing under the lights =7
The incarnation of love =7
You have left me spell bound by =7
Your smile which I'm thankful of =7
I'm unsure of what to say =7

Your lips upon mine tonight =7
Causes me to shed a tear =7
The fragile walls that I've built =7
They have now all disappeared =7
For the love you bring my way =7 (rhyme with "say" in above stanza)

We're standing under the light =7
Lovers bound by words so true =7
The wonder of dreams so bright =7
Now I'm sure of what to do =7

With your hand in mine tonight =7
Onto my knees I now drop =7
Tears swell up in your eyes and =7
My lonely heart seems to stop =7
And you say... (I don't know about this ending. Hold your breath, I guess.)

“Under the lights”

Your eyes upon me tonight
Cause me such cheer
Everything I thought I knew about love
Changed the night I saw you

You were standing under the lights
Your beauty shone like the sun
I was entranced by your
Silky white skin
And I didn't know what to do

You eyes upon me tonight
Take away all my fear
In its place is now a courage
Not seen before
And its all because of you

You were standing under the lights
The incarnation of love itself
You left me spell bound by
Your smile
And I didn't know what to say

Your lips upon mine tonight
Cause me to shed a tear
The walls I've built
Soon come crashing down
As I fall in love with you

We were standing under the light
To lovers bound by the night
We once were two but now are one
And now I'm sure of what to do

I take your hand in mine tonight
As I drop to my knee
Tears swell in your eyes and
My lonely hart seems to stop
And you say...
