Lyrics

If I ever feel the light again Shining down on me I won't have to tell you How welcome it would be I felt the light before But I let it slip away And I just keep on believing That it'll come back someday It ain't the spotlight It ain't the candlelight It ain't the streetlights Or 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 just isn't real It's just a fantasy that used to be The way I used to feel But you and I know better Even though it's been too long Now if your memory really serves you well You'll never tell me no wrong It ain't the spotlight It ain't the candlelight It ain't the streetlights Or 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 So if I ever feel the light again Shining down on me I won't have to tell you How welcome it would be I felt the light before But I let it slip away I just live for believing That it'll come back someday It ain't the spotlight It ain't the candlelight It ain't the streetlights Or 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 Yeah, I've seen it shining in your eyes And you know what I mean
