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)
