It's Not the Spotlight

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

It's not the spotlight, it's not the camera light

It's not the street lights 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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

So if I ever feel the light again shinin' down on me

I don't have to tell ya how 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

[Chorus]

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's 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
