It's Not The Spotlight - Kim Carnes

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 your’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
