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

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

It ain't the candlelight

And it ain't the streetlight

Of some old street of dreams (no - no)

It ain't the moonlight

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

A woman can't change her mind



It's not the spotlight

It ain't the candlelight

And it ain't the streetlight

Of some old street of dreams (no - no)

It ain't the moonlight

Not even the sunlight

But i've seen it shinin' in your eyes

And you know what i mean



(repeat)
