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 or 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 and it ain't the candlelight   And it ain't the streetlight of some old street of dreams, no no   It ain't the moonlight or 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 why a woman can't change her mind      It's not the spotlight and it ain't the candlelight   And it ain't the streetlight of some old street of dreams, no no   It ain't the moonlight or not even the sunlight   But I've seen it shinin' in your eyes and you know what I mean      It's not the spotlight and it ain't the candlelight   And it ain't the streetlight of some old street of dreams, no no   It ain't the moonlight or not even the sunlight   But I've seen it shinin' in your eyes and you know what I mean
