Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in 1968 by Jimmy Page (guitar), Robert Plant (vocals), John Paul Jones (bass guitar, keyboards, mandolin) and John Bonham (drums). With their heavy, guitar-driven sound, Led Zeppelin are regarded as one of the first heavy metal bands, helping to pioneer the genre. However, the band's individualistic style drew from many sources and transcends any one genre. Their rock-infused interpretation of the blues and folk genres also incorporated rockabilly, reggae, soul, funk, classical, Celtic, Indian, Arabic, pop, Latin and country. The band did not release the popular songs from their albums as singles in the UK, as they preferred to develop the concept of "album-oriented rock". They charted ten singles in the US.
Close to 30 years after disbanding following Bonham's death in 1980, the band continues to be held in high regard for their artistic achievements, commercial success, and broad influence. The band has sold an estimated 200 million albums worldwide, including 111.5 million certified units in the United States and they have had all of their original studio albums reach the top 10 of the Billboard album chart in the U.S., with six reaching the number one spot. Led Zeppelin are ranked #1 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. Rolling Stone magazine has described Led Zeppelin as "the heaviest band of all time", "the biggest band of the '70s" and "unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history".

Oh, baby
Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that can't wait for a 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 shaking so much, really yearning
Why don't you show up, make it all right, yeah, it's all right, all right
And if you promised you'd love so completely
And you said you would always be true
You swore that you never would leave me, baby
What ever happened to you
And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true, hey
It ain't the first time believe me, baby
I'm standin' here feeling blue, blue
Ha, yeah, I'm blue, hoh, baby
Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
I'll watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes no longer
And then I'm turning around, 'round
The clock on the wall's moving 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
Ohhhh, that I found
Hey babe
Oooh, hand that ticks on the clock
Just don't seem to stop
When I'm thinking it over
Oooh, tired of the light
I just don't seem to find
Have you wait, get away
Whoa oooh, I see it in my dreams
But I just don't seem to be with you
You I gotta get it all
Gotta get it all, gotta get it all
I've got to get all
(Guitar Solo)
Ooh, now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet, ohh
I've got no reason to doubt you baby
It's all a terrible mess
An' 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 kind of careless
I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, ohhhhhh yeah
Hey now, ohhhhhh-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 love, hey now
Light of the love, hey now
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found

This is my favorite Led Zeppelin song. And yet, nobody cares about it.
