Manhattan Transfer - Pastiche

Its Not The Spotlight Lyrics

by Manhattan Transfer
Album: Pastiche (1976)



If I ever feel the light again
Shinin down on me
I dont have to tell you
How welcome it will be
I felt the light before
But I let it slip away
I still keep on believin
Itll come back someday

Its not the spotlight
It aint the candlelight
And it aint the streetlight
Of some old street of dreams
It aint the moonlight
Not even the sunlight
But Ive seen it shinin in your eyes
And you know what I mean

Sometimes I try to tell myself
You know the light was never real -
A fantasy that used to be the way I used to feel
But you and I know better now
Even though its been so long
If your memory really serves you well
Youd never tell me Im wrong

Its not the spotlight
It aint the candlelight
And it aint the streetlight
Of some old street of dreams (no - no)
It aint the moonlight
Not even the sunlight
But Ive seen it shinin in your eyes
And you know what I mean

If I ever feel the light again
You know things will have to change
Names and faces, homes and places
Will have to be re-arranged
And you can help me come about
If youre ever so inclined
Aint no rhyme or reason
A woman cant change her mind

Its not the spotlight
It aint the candlelight
And it aint the streetlight
Of some old street of dreams (no - no)
It aint the moonlight
Not even the sunlight
But Ive seen it shinin in your eyes
And you know what I mean

(repeat)
