It's Not The Spotlight Lyrics - Beth Orton

If I ever feel the light again 

Shining down on me 

I won't have to tell you 

How welcome it would be 

I felt the light before 

But I let it slip away 

And I just live if I believe in 

That it'll come back someday 

It ain't the spotlight 

It ain't the candlelight 

It ain't the streetlights 

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 just isn't real 

It's just a fantasy that used to be 

The way I used to feel 

But you and I know better 

Even though it's been too long 

Now if your memory really serves you well 

You'll never tell me no wrong 

It ain't the spotlight 

It ain't the candlelight 

It ain't the streetlights 

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 

So if I ever feel the light again 

Shining down on me 

I won't have to tell you 

How welcome it would be 

I felt the light before 

But I let it slip away 

And I just live if I believe in 

That it'll come back someday 

It ain't the spotlight 

It ain't the candlelight 

It ain't the streetlights 

Of some old street of dreams 

It ain't the sunlight 

Not even the moonlight 

But I've seen it shining in your eyes 

And you know what I mean 

Yeah, I've seen it shining in your eyes 

And you know what I mean
