[A]
[D] If I ever [Bm] feel the light again [Em] shining down on me
I [A] don't have to tell you [G] what a welcome it [D] will be
[Bm] I felt the light before, [Em] but I let it slip away
But [A] I still keep on believing [G] that it'll come [D] back someday
[G] It's not the spotlight, [D] it's not the camera light
[G] It's not the streetlights [A] of some old [D] street of dreams
[G] It ain't the moonlight, not [D] even the sunlight
[G] But I've seen it [Em] shining in your eyes
And you know [D] what I mean
Sometimes I try to tell myself [Em] the light was never real
[A] Just a fantasy that used to [G] be the way I [D] used to feel
But you and [Bm] I know better, even [Em] though it's been so long
[A] If your memory really serves you [G] well, you'll never [D] tell me no wrong
[G] It's not the spotlight, [D] it's not the camera light
[G] It's not the [A] streetlights of some old [D] street of dreams
[G] It ain't the moonlight, not [D] even the sunlight
But I've seen it [Em] shining in your eyes
[G] And you know [D] what I mean
Yeah
[Bm] La da da [Em] da da
So [A]
[G] [D] [A]
[D] if I ever [Bm] feel the light again [Em] shining down on me
[A] I don't have to tell you [G] how welcome [D] it would be
I felt the light before, [Em] but I let it slip away
But [A] I still keep on believing [G] that it'll come [D] back someday
It's [G] not the spotlight, [D] it's not the camera light
[G] It's not the streetlights [A] of some old [D] street of dreams
It [G] ain't the moonlight, not [D] even the sunlight
[G] But I've seen it [Em] shining in your eyes
And you know what I mean
[G] It's not the spotlight, it [D] ain't the camera light
[G] It's not the [A] streetlights of some old [D] street of dreams
No, [G] it ain't the moonlight, [D] never the sunlight
[G] But I've seen it [Em] shining in your eyes
You [A] know
[D] [G] [D]
