It's Not The Spotlight Lyrics

by Beth Orton

If I ever feel the light again
Shining down on me
I don't have to tell you
How welcome it would be

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e68226-beth_orton~its_not_the_spotlight_lyrics.html ]
I felt the light before,
But I let it slip away
And I just keep on believing
That it'll come back someday

It's not the spotlight
It's not the candlelight
Its not the streetlights
On 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 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
Now if your memory really serves you well
You'll never tell me no wrong

It's not the spotlight
It's not the candlelight
Its not the streetlights
On 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 tell you
How welcome it would be

I felt the light before,
But I let it slip away
And I just live for believing
That it'll come back someday

It's not the spotlight
It's not the candlelight
Its not the streetlights
On 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
