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