(Gerry Goffin, Barry Goldberg)
|
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 some day.
|
|
It's not the spotlight, it's not the cam'ra 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.
|
|
Some times 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 cam'ra 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 shining 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 some day.
|
|
It's not the spotlight, it's not the cam'ra 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.
