As recorded by Rod Stewart (From the 1975 Album ATLANTIC CROSSING) [Intro] G A [Verse 1]
     D             Bm          Em
If I ever feel the light again shining down on me

A                               G                 D
I don't have to tell ya, what a welcome it will be

           Bm                 Em
I felt the light before but I let it slip away

    A                              G                   D
But I still keep on believing that it'll come back someday
[Chorus]
             G                       D
It's not the spotlight, it's not the camera light

             G                A                  D
It's not the street lights of some old street of dreams

             G                       D
It ain't the moonlight, not even the sunlight

         G       F#m     Em               G        A      D    N.C.
But I've seen it shining in your eyes and you know what I mean
[Verse 2]
    D              Bm              Em
Sometimes I try to tell myself the light was never real

       A                            G                 D
Just a fantasy that used to be, the way I used to feel

                   Bm           Em
But you and I know better, even though it's been so long

        A                                     G                D
If your memory really serves you well, you'll never tell me no wrong
[Chorus]
             G                       D
It's not the spotlight, it's not the camera light

             G               A                  D
It's not the streetlights of some old street of dreams

             G                       D
It ain't the moonlight, not even the sunlight

         G       F#m     Em            G        A      D    N.C.
But I've seen it shining in your eyes, you know what I mean
[Mandolin Solo] D Bm Em A G D C Bm A N.C. [Verse 3]
        D             Bm          Em
So if I ever feel the light again shinin' down on me

A                              G                D
I don't have to tell ya what a welcome it would be

           Bm                 Em
I felt the light before but I let it slip away

    A                              G                   D
But I still keep on believing that it'll come back someday
[Chorus]
             G                       D
It's not the spotlight, it's not the camera light

             G               A                  D
It's not the streetlights of some old street of dreams

             G                       D
It ain't the moonlight, not even the sunlight

         G       F#m     Em N.C.
But I've seen it shining in your eyes and you know what I mean

             G                         D
It's not the spotlight, it's ain't the camera light

             G               A                  D
It's not the streetlights of some old street of dreams

                 G                    D
No, it ain't the moonlight, never the sunlight

         G       F#m     Em N.C.       G        A      D
But I've seen it shining in your eyes, you know what I mean
[Outro] D G D
