Lyrics :
I see you, in a lonely place
how can you be so blind
you're still regretting the love you left, left behind
oh darling, I've seen you go through a change
sitting alone each night
are you expecting to find a love, love that's right
darling open your eyes
let me show you the light
girl you'll never find a love that's right
darling open your eyes
let me show you the light
girl you think you're so wise
there are times, when you'll need someone
I will be by your side
I'll take my chances before they pass, pass me by
oh darlin, there is a light that shines, special for you and me
you need to look at the other side
you'll agree
darling open your eyes
let me show you the light
you may never find a love that's right
darling open your eyes
let me show you the light
you may never find a love that's right
darling open your eyes
let me show you the light
you may never find a love that's right
darling open your eyes
let me show you the light
girl you think you're so wise
you may never find a love that's right

Every 6 months I forget Bobby Caldwell is white.
ukaniko hell yeah
Lol! 🙌🏾
I just said this 🤣😂🤣🥴
It’s been 6 months, Bobby Caldwell is white 😆
@@jailanrayvon434 😂😂😂
Bobby Caldwell has entered the Cookout
Myles Teague 😂😂
He already been in the cookout. He just getting seconds
You damn right he did !
You mean the BBQ 😂
Never pictured a white dude on the original growing up hearing Common's track.
I'm 43 yrs and today I just realize Mr Bobby Caldwell was a brother from another mother.. Soul music has no color.
Now I know where the hook to Common’s: The Light came from. This is beautiful. Bobby was different. Literally and figuratively. WOW!
Wow I just realized
This man been sample by so many hip hop artists. R.I.P.
RIP Mr Caldwell, thank you for the wonderful music you gave us 🙏🎶❤️ have to say, how stunning is Kathleen Turner here, she was gorgeous 😘
This is music from another time, another place and it's gorgeous.
RIP Legend! You literally changed my life as a major influence to why I pursue music as a career!
Rip to a legend. Common and j dilla brought me here
Yep that song blew me away--I had no idea it was BC--what a great song, @@sohailhanif7637
Bobby Caldwell and Boz Scaggs are two of the most underated song writers/singers of my time..both need their due!!!
You're so right. In fact Boz suggested to Bobby to write songs for others, when Bobby was early in his career. Then, Bobby wrote Heart of Mine for him.
Dianne Reeves and patti Austin ain't bad for glrls
Here here !!🎉
Have you seen the Dukes of September on utube with Boz, Michael McDonald and Donald Fagan. Starts off with Boz Skaggs singing LOW DOWN and wow what a performance then all 3 sing WHOS that lady, the isley Bros. Fabulous song. Please look it up, promise you will be entertained. 😂😂😂
Please read my comment
Thank Common and Kobe Bryant for introducing me to this masterpiece.
Kobe Bryant?
I have the same question .. Kobe ?

@@joshcarrasco2327 yeah which is what he said 😂
Thanks Bobby I can't stop crying
same.
Rest in peace your legend this white boy got soul let me tell you music has no color it only has sound❤
RIP Bobby. Talented and soulful.
Bobby Caldwell is a musical genius
Dilla did a magnificent job utilizing this track for Common... This track is amazing, as was Dilla's production.
RIP Dilla
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. It never gets old, and neither does Dillas remix of it. Caldwell will always remain timeless.
All I think about is Common and Dwele when I hear this song. Honestly thought it was Commons song and thought Dwele just sampled it lol. Love the original as well… 😍
Dwele's cover is beautiful
Who's here listening in the 2020 Quarantine?
Yessir. Alone
At work
We lost uncle Bobby, thank Mr Caldwell you shares your gift with us
I cry during the chorus,, then i smile when the beat drops....☺️🤗
perfectly said...
😂
He’s vocals on point with the whole feel of the track
They don't make songs like this anymore
Wonderful
Common sampled this song. That’s how it took me to Bobby C. Didn’t know he sang the song. I. LOVE THIS SONG!
I've played this video about 50 times. Dont judge me...lol. I love everything about this video. I want to find a dress just like the one that the lady in the video is wearing.
You are absolutely beautiful
Jessica Greene not judging
I’m on about 18 right now lol
same rip
First heard his sample on Common Sense's the light back in the day; but with a name like Bobby Caldwell, I thought this man was black.
underrated singer
Rest peacefully and without pain. Thank you for your gifts.
The guitar at the ends goes hard
This is such a timeless classic.
I see you, in a lonely place
How can you be so lost?
You're still regretting the love you left, left behind
Oh darling, I've seen you go through the changes
Sitting alone each night
Are you expecting to find a love, love that's right?
Darling open your eyes

It’s “How could you be so blind?”
I am 42 and today i was born to this info. Lol. Wow. This is so dope
My fav Bobby Caldwell... it's up there with Steely Dan's "black Cow" another underrated masterpiece 🤜🏿🤛🏿🙋🏿💃🏿🎶
black cow is a banger
Black cow is errthang
That voice. Incredible. RIP BOBBY🙏🏿
Feel so grateful to have seen Bobby several times at the Soiled Dove in Denver. Met him three times after the show. RIP, Mr. Caldwell.....I'm thankful we can still listen to your timeless masterpieces. You will always be one of my favorites!
As a failed Denver resident, I never heard of that venue. Where was it?
@@carlosjuan-miguel3294 - it's located in East Denver, Cherry Creek area. Smaller venue- my favorite - has a parking lot, tables- serve drinks, appetizers. Restaurant is upstairs.
What is a failed resident, BTW?
I also sing and write music!
What was Bobby like in person? I hope he was nice to you. It sucks when a very talented person turns out to be a prick.
Nostalgic vibes 2019 here
I always thought Stevie wonder sang this in common’s song 🤣😭❤️ but I love this song
Oh darling 🥰❤️🎼🎵
Wow..Classic song... love that 80's rock/funk outro.. damn. I would kill this in karaoke
OMG! I didn’t even realize that before Common, Bobby Caldwell did this! And I love Bobby Caldwell! 🤷🏽♀️ I am so grateful that there’s a UA-cam🥰
You and me both.
R.I.P. Bobby Caldwell 😥😢🙏🏿
I woke up this morning thinking about the chorus to Common's song the Light and had to find out what song it was sampled from. I am surprised and excited to find it is Open Your Eyes by Bobby Caldwell. I would have sworn this was a black man singing. He has so much soul. I will be looking up other songs from him. Love this one!!
Haha you have to know his biggest hit "what you won't do for love" , sampled by Tupac
Check out Robin Thicke tribute on Vlack Music honors 2023
Mee too my word
Rest in peace , he was truly gifted - 2023 ❤
His voice touches my soul. Thank you common and j dilla for introducing this to me
Your music is beautiful and
timeless! Rest in peace.
RIP Bobby…we’ll always have this
Had no clue about this song until J Dilla sampled it for Common's 'The Light'. Why this song wasn't a bigger hit in 1980 makes absolutely no sense to me. The original is a far greater song than the Rap version. Such a beautiful composition, well done Bobby.
Man I totally agree with you on that so soulful
Bobby is still doing his thing and in a modern way. Check out the Cool Uncle record
Probably sounded too modern when It was released, doesn't sound like an 80s song.
Infidel14? I disagree, I think both are great in their own right. By two very talented artists.
WORD UP!!!
Rest easy King. 💔 ✌🏾🙌🏾
R.I.P Bobby Caldwell 🙏
REST IN PEACE BOBBY CALDWELL 🕊️🕊️🕊️
R.I.P Bobby caldwell and William hurt
It can't no late 70s early 80s life like this !
Bobby Caldwell always been cold and this cut still goes hard and this song compliments body heat
Kathleen Turner in Body Heat was one of the most beautiful women ever
Actually for all of you too young to know, this song was a big hit when it came out.
His music was so magical. Those type of writing skills are to find.
What a wonderful imagination he had.
Beautiful, Bobby Caldwell was ahead of his time by far💪🏾💎.
OMG . What a tune 👌
Rest in peace 🕊
Common and Little Brother brought me here. Glad to finally hear the source material. Wonderful song.
🔥🔥🔥 Word i already knew Common sampled it and then i heard it on Little Brother "Sittin Alone". I was aight let me look up the original!
April 2021 - appreciation for a CLASSIC!!!
burst into tears hearing this.....RIP Bobby Caldwell.......
Rest in Peace!!
Love ❤🍀😍
Wish, that some special person open his Eyes
😅😅😅
The light - on Born 2 Rap by the Game is what brought me here
This jam & a track on Be called faithful are the shittttt easily top favorites
I straight just heard this on the radio and thought it was Hall and Oates....This dude can SANG
RIP Welome to Soul Heaven.
One of the legends. The proof that music is universal. Music reach in your soul.
Musical excellence that is timeless. The melody and lyrics are still emotionally engaging
これか！この曲だったのか！Commonの｢The Light｣の元ネタは！
めっちゃ名曲そして格好良い！
魅せてくれたな！ボビー・コールドウェルッ！そこに痺れる憧れるッ！
That movie is lit 🔥
Beautiful song
Rip dear , so bad I just found your album and like it so much !
One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard and I’ve heard many♥️
I wonder if Common ever performed with him? That would be so dope
sugashack74 no but bobby said he like what common did with the song
@@chriswilliams681 really? thats fkn cool
That would be so crazy
@@chriswilliams681 *j dilla. But it's true tho. For all these disrespectful sampled garbages in the last two decade, the light is that rare classic gold.
Bobby is legendary. Rest in power brother 🙏🏿
If you grew up with your parents' radio tuned to Lite FM, this song is an old friend.
Love his singing! Just lovely! Takes you back to a time when music was awesome, clear and made you want to be in love💓 Sang Bobby!!🎤🎺🎹🎻👏
I'm fully sure that I'm In LOVE!!❤
They talk about his other hit "What you won't do" but they NEVER mention this classic!
Whaaat????...this is music!
Yes it is idk where u from this is a classic
I love this so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
2019 who is still listening?
2020, still listening
Cooper Hsu 2020 and I’m listening

2020 and it's just magical
😐🖑
What a song. Rip Bobby timess !!!!!!
RIP Bobby Caldwell
Dwele paid homage to the legendary Bobby Caldwell
This song is just absolutely Heavenly ♥️🎶🎵
The movie is called "Body Heat". Just rented it last night and watched it with my fiance (thanks to this video). Movie is crazy!!!🤯
Do you recommend giving Body Heat a watch?
@@omarbarraza5150 Yeah. It's pretty good. I'll definitely watch again.
🎼♪🎵♪For longest time... I've thought that Rock R&B Slave's Steve Arrington or Kashif made this Classic R&B song.
🎶I'm so delighted to find out all these years that it was really Bobby Caldwell...this awesome Classic R&B song is on the same level of Scott Jarrett's “♪Image Of You♪” & the Rock&Roll Baby's-John Waite “♪Isn't It Time♪"!!!
He can sing his behind off. His music is timeless. My first time seeing what he looked like was upon hearing of his passing. I didn't know that he was white? He has so much passion and soul. RIP. 💝💔🙏🏻
Do it do it do it !!!
Rest in peace Mr Caldwell 😢
Wtf omg this tune is a fucking banger!!!! Yessss bobby!
Wow suggestion from my soulsister son love music especially when shared when they bless me a gift. Beautifulness blessed happy everyday everyone
Rip Bobby Caldwell and Richard Hurt.🙏🏿
RIP Bobby
This song makes me tear up. 😢
Common killed it when he sampled it for The Light
This a bop
Love when the visual and the song are paired perfectly together! This was the perfect visual for the record! Looks like it sounds and sounds like it looks!
