[C] [G]
[F] [Em]
[F] [C] [G]
[F] [C] If I ever [Am] feel the light again [Dm] shining down on me, [G] I don't [Cm] have to [G] tell you [F] how welcome
[C] it will be.
[F] [C] I felt the [Am] light before, [Dm] but I let it slip away.
[G] But I still keep on believing [F] that it'll come back [C]
someday.
It's [Dm] not the spotlight, it [C] ain't the candlelight.
It's [Dm] not the streetlight, some old street [C] of dreams.
It's not [Dm] the moonlight, not even [C] the sunlight.
But [F] I've seen [Em] it shining [F] in your eyes, and you know what I [C]
mean.
[Dm] You know [Fm] what [C] I mean.
[Bb] [C]
Sometime I [G] try [Am] to tell [B] myself the [Dm] light was never real.
[Em] Just a fantasy [G] that used to be [F] the way [C] I used to feel.
But you and I know better [Am] now, [Dm] even though it's been so long.
[G] If your memory really serves you well, [F] you never tell me [C] I'm wrong.
It's [F] not the spotlight, [C] and it ain't the candlelight.
[Am] It's [F] not the streetlight, [Dm] some old [C] street of dreams.
It's [F] not the moonlight, not even [C] the sunlight.
But [F] I've seen [Em] it [Dm] shining in your eyes, [F] and you [G] know [C] what I mean.
[G] [F]
[Dm] [C]
[G] [F]
[C] If I ever feel the light [Am] again, [Dm] you know things will have to change.
[G]
Names and faces, [C] [G] homes and places [F] will have to be [C] rearranged.
If you can have it [Am] come about, if [Dm] you're ever so inclined.
[G]
There ain't no rhyme or reason why [F] a woman can't change [C] her mind.
It's [F] not the spotlight, and it [C] ain't the candlelight.
It's [Dm] not the streetlight, some old street [C] of dreams.
It's [F] not the moonlight, not even [C] the sunlight.
But [Am] I've seen [Em] it shining [Dm] in your [F] eyes, and you know [G] what [C] I mean.
It's [F] not the spotlight, and it ain't [C] the candlelight.
It's [Dm] not the streetlight, some old [C] street of dreams.
