If I ever see the light again
Shining down on me
I don't have to tell you
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

*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

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

(*Repeat)

So if I ever see the light again
Shining down on me
I don't have to tell you
How welcome it would be

(**, *, *Repeat)
