if[D] I ever feel the[Bm] light again    sh[G]ining down on me

I [A]dont have to tell you        how welc[G]ome it would be     [D]

an[A]d I just keep on believing   that [G]itll come back someda[D]y

{section: Chorus}
:

it[G]s not the spotlight        its[D] not the candlelight

it[G]s not the streetligh[A]ts     of some old st[D]reet of dreams

it[G] aint the moon light       not e[D]ven the sunlight

bu[G]t I seen it shinin[A]g in your eyes

an[G]d you know w[A]hat I mea[D]n

so[D]metimes I try to[Bm] tell myself    the li[G]ght was never real

ju[A]st a fantasy that used to be    [G]the way I used to f[D]eel

bu[D]t you and I know b[Bm]etter         even tho[G]ugh its been so long

no[A]w if your memory really serves you we[G]ll youll never tell me no

wr[D]ong

it[G]s not the spotlight        its[D] not the candlelight

it[G]s not the streetligh[A]ts     of some old st[D]reet of dreams

it[G] aint the moon light       not e[D]ven the sunlight

bu[G]t I seen it shinin[A]g in your eyes
