A letra:
If
I ever feel the light again shining down on me
I don't have to
tell you, 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
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
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
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
So if I
ever feel the light again shinin' down on me
I don't have to tell
you what a 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
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
