If I ever feel the light again shinin' 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 believin' that it'll come back some day      It's not the spotlight   And it's not the camera light   And it's not the streetlight 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      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 now even though it's been so long   If your memory really server you well, you'll never tell me that I'm wrong      It's not the spotlight   And it's not the camera light   And it's not the streetlight 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 things will have to change   Names and faces, homes and places will have to be rearranged   And you can help it 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's not the camera light   And it's not the streetlight 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
