It’s not the spotlight (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

If I ever feel the light again,
Shining down on me,
I don’t have to tell you,
How welcome it would be,
I felt the light before,
But I let it slip away,
An’ I just keep on believing,
That it’ll come back someday.

It’s not the spotlight,
It’s not the candlelight,
Its not the streetlight,
But 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 streetlight,
Its 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,
I just live for believing,
That it’ll come back someday,

It’s not the spotlight,
It’s not the candlelight,
Its not the streetlight,
Its 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,
But I’ve seen it shining in your eyes,
And you know what I mean.

It’s Not The Spotlight (Letra)

(Gerry Goffin, Barry Goldberg, 1973/1976)

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.

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
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
It ain’t the candlelight
And it ain’t the streetlight
Of some old street of dreams (no – no)
It ain’t the moonlight
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
A woman can’t change her mind

It’s not the spotlight
It ain’t the candlelight
And it ain’t the streetlight
Of some old street of dreams (no – no)
It ain’t the moonlight
Not even the sunlight
But i’ve seen it shinin’ in your eyes
And you know what i mean

(repeat)
