Its Not The Spotlight

IT’S NOT THE SPOTLIGHT As recorded by Rod Stewart (From the 1975 Album ATLANTIC CROSSING) [Intro]     [Verse 1] If I ever feel the light again shining down on me I don’t have to tell ya what a welcome it will be I felt the light before but I let it slip away But I still keep on believing that it’ll come back someday [Chorus] It’s not the spotlight it’s not the camera light It’s not the street lights 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    [Verse 2] 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 even though it’s been so long If your memory really serves you well you’ll never tell me no wrong [Chorus] It’s not the spotlight it’s not the camera light It’s not 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 you know what I mean    [Mandolin Solo]             N.. [Verse 3] So if I ever feel the light again shinin’ down on me I don’t have to tell ya what a welcome it would be I felt the light before but I let it slip away But I still keep on believing that it’ll come back someday [Chorus] It’s not the spotlight it’s not the camera light It’s not 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 It’s not the spotlight it’s ain’t the camera light It’s not the streetlights of some old street of dreams No it ain’t the moonlight never the sunlight But I’ve seen it shining in your eyes you know what I mean [Outro]
