Its Not The Spotlight — текст песни (Manhattan Transfer)

If I ever feel the light again

Shinin down on me

I dont 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

Itll come back someday



Its not the spotlight

It aint the candlelight

And it aint the streetlight

Of some old street of dreams

It aint the moonlight

Not even the sunlight

But Ive 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 its been so long

If your memory really serves you well

Youd never tell me Im wrong



Its not the spotlight

It aint the candlelight

And it aint the streetlight

Of some old street of dreams (no - no)

It aint the moonlight

Not even the sunlight

But Ive 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 youre ever so inclined

Aint no rhyme or reason

A woman cant change her mind



Its not the spotlight

It aint the candlelight

And it aint the streetlight

Of some old street of dreams (no - no)

It aint the moonlight

Not even the sunlight

But Ive seen it shinin in your eyes

And you know what I mean



(repeat)
