It's Not the Spotlight
If I ever feel the light again shining down on me
I don't have to tell ya, what a welcome it will be
I felt the light before but I let it slip away
But I still keep on believing that it'll come back someday
It's not the spotlight, it's not the camera light
It's not the streetlights of some old street of dreams
It ain't the moonlight, not even the sunlight
But I've seen it shining in your eyes and you know what I mean
Sometimes I try to tell myself the light was never real
Just a fantasy that used to be, the way I used to feel
But you and I know better, even though it's been so long
If your memory really serves you well, you'll never tell me no wrong
It's not the spotlight, it's not the camera light
It's not the streetlights of some old street of dreams
It ain't the moonlight, not even the sunlight
But I've seen it shining in your eyes, you know what I mean
So if I ever feel the light again shinin' down on me
I don't have to tell ya what a welcome it would be
I felt the light before but I let it slip away
But I still keep on believing that it'll come back someday
It's not the spotlight, it's not the camera light
It's not the streetlights of some old street of dreams
It ain't the moonlight, not even the sunlight
But I've seen it shining in your eyes and you know what I mean
It's not the spotlight, it ain't the camera light
It's not the streetlights of some old street of dreams
No, it ain't the moonlight, never the sunlight
But I've seen it shining in your eyes, you know what I mean
I don't have to tell ya, what a welcome it will be
I felt the light before but I let it slip away
But I still keep on believing that it'll come back someday
It's not the spotlight, it's not the camera light
It's not the streetlights of some old street of dreams
It ain't the moonlight, not even the sunlight
But I've seen it shining in your eyes and you know what I mean
Sometimes I try to tell myself the light was never real
Just a fantasy that used to be, the way I used to feel
But you and I know better, even though it's been so long
If your memory really serves you well, you'll never tell me no wrong
It's not the spotlight, it's not the camera light
It's not the streetlights of some old street of dreams
It ain't the moonlight, not even the sunlight
But I've seen it shining in your eyes, you know what I mean
So if I ever feel the light again shinin' down on me
I don't have to tell ya what a welcome it would be
I felt the light before but I let it slip away
But I still keep on believing that it'll come back someday
It's not the spotlight, it's not the camera light
It's not the streetlights of some old street of dreams
It ain't the moonlight, not even the sunlight
But I've seen it shining in your eyes and you know what I mean
It's not the spotlight, it ain't the camera light
It's not the streetlights of some old street of dreams
No, it ain't the moonlight, never the sunlight
But I've seen it shining in your eyes, you know what I mean
