Golden Love Light
From Full Circle and the Great Temptation, music and lyrics by Pete, lead vocals and keyboards by Rachel Eckroth, copyright 2008
It’s not the sunlight that sets my soul on fire
There’s plenty of sunshine up there in the sky
It’s not the moonlight that casts a magic spell
Illusions come in every shape and size
There’s so much starlight in the universe
Flowing down from every galaxy
But in the spotlight, in my little world
I can only think of you and me
It’s the golden love light shining from your heart that turns me on
It’s the only reason I can face the world when hope is gone
It’s not the streetlights reflected in your eyes
Even though they make you look so fine
Don’t need a flashlight to find what I’m searching for
It’s right before me and I know it’s mine
We’ve got the green light no need to slow down
Moving fast the heat begins to flow
We’re in the headlights as the world keep spinning round
Let me teach you everything I know
It’s the golden love light shining from your heart that turns me on
It’s the only reason I can face the world when hope is gone
Every day I try to do what’s right
Working hard morning noon and night
But this is not the time for mystery
Baby, turn your light on and you can set me free
It’s the golden love light shining from your heart that turns me on
It’s the only reason I can face the world when hope is gone Pete Gitlin has been playing guitar, bass and keyboards professionally for many years, in jazz, fusion, funk and rock bands all across the USA. After a long career in the technology industry, he is now fully devoting time and energy to his music,
writing and recording music for film, television, and commercials. He also appears live every Thursday night at Pita Jungle in Chandler AZ, hosting Arizona's longest-running jazz jam session.
Living the dream...manifesting reality!
