It's Not The Spotlight |
| If I ever feel the light again shinin' down on me |
| I don’t have to tell you how welcome it will be |
| I felt the light before but I let it slip away |
| I still keep on believin' it’ll come back someday |
| It’s not the spotlight, it ain’t the candlelight |
| And it ain’t the streetlight of some old street of dreams |
| It ain’t the moonlight or not even the sunlight |
| But I’ve seen it shinin' in your eyes and you know what I mean |
| Sometimes I try to tell myself, you know the light was never real |
| A fantasy that used to be the way I used to feel |
| But you and I know better now, even though it’s been so long |
| If your memory really serves you well, you’d never tell me I’m wrong |
| It’s not the spotlight and it ain’t the candlelight |
| And it ain’t the streetlight of some old street of dreams, no no |
| It ain’t the moonlight or not even the sunlight |
| But I’ve seen it shinin' in your eyes and you know what I mean |
| If I ever feel the light again, you know things will have to change |
| Names and faces, homes and places will have to be re-arranged |
| And you can help me come about, if you’re ever so inclined |
| Ain’t no rhyme or reason why a woman can’t change her mind |
| It’s not the spotlight and it ain’t the candlelight |
| And it ain’t the streetlight of some old street of dreams, no no |
| It ain’t the moonlight or not even the sunlight |
| But I’ve seen it shinin' in your eyes and you know what I mean |
| It’s not the spotlight and it ain’t the candlelight |
| And it ain’t the streetlight of some old street of dreams, no no |
| It ain’t the moonlight or not even the sunlight |
| But I’ve seen it shinin' in your eyes and you know what I mean |
