It's Not The Spotlight
If I ever feel the light again
Shining down on me
I won't have to tell you
How welcome it would be
I felt the light before
But I let it slip away
And I just keep on believing
That it'll come back someday
It ain't the spotlight
It ain't the candlelight
It ain't the streetlights
Or 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 just isn't real
It's just a fantasy that used to be
The way I used to feel
But you and I know better
Even though it's been too long
Now if your memory really serves you well
You'll never tell me no wrong
It ain't the spotlight
It ain't the candlelight
It ain't the streetlights
Or 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
So if I ever feel the light again
Shining down on me
I won't have to tell you
How welcome it would be
I felt the light before
But I let it slip away
I just live for believing
That it'll come back someday
It ain't the spotlight
It ain't the candlelight
It ain't the streetlights
Or 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
Yeah, I've seen it shining in your eyes
And you know what I mean
Shining down on me
I won't have to tell you
How welcome it would be
I felt the light before
But I let it slip away
And I just keep on believing
That it'll come back someday
It ain't the spotlight
It ain't the candlelight
It ain't the streetlights
Or 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 just isn't real
It's just a fantasy that used to be
The way I used to feel
But you and I know better
Even though it's been too long
Now if your memory really serves you well
You'll never tell me no wrong
It ain't the spotlight
It ain't the candlelight
It ain't the streetlights
Or 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
So if I ever feel the light again
Shining down on me
I won't have to tell you
How welcome it would be
I felt the light before
But I let it slip away
I just live for believing
That it'll come back someday
It ain't the spotlight
It ain't the candlelight
It ain't the streetlights
Or 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
Yeah, I've seen it shining in your eyes
And you know what I mean
