Lyric 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)
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

And it ain t the streetlight
Of some old street of dreams (no - no)
