Bobby Bland It's Not The Spotlight Lyrics

If I ever feel the light again shining down on me
I don't have to tell you how welcome it will be
I felt the light before but I let it slip away
But I still keep on believing that it will come back some day

It's not the spotlight, It ain't the candle lights
It's not the street lights of some old street of dreams
It's not the moonlight, not even the sunlight
But I've seen it shining in your eyes and you know what I mean
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 serves you well you'll never tell me I'm wrong.

It's not the spotlight, It ain't the candle lights
It's not the street lights of some old street of dreams (oh, lord!)
It's not 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 you know things would have to change
Names, and faces; homes, and places will have to be re-rearranged
If you can help it come about, if you're ever so inclined
There ain't no rhyme or reason why a woman can't change your mind.

It's not the spotlight, It ain't the candle lights
It's not the street lights of some old street of dreams (oh,lord!)
It's not 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 ain't the candle lights
It's not the street lights of some old street of dreams (oh, lord!)
It's not the moonlight, not even the sunlight
But I've seen it shining in your eyes and you know what I mean
