It's Not The Spotlight Lyrics - 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 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
