Lyrics

[Verse 1]
もしも 光が またおいらに
当たるなら それを どんなに 待ってるさ
[Verse 2]
ずっと 以前のことだけれど
その光に 気付いていたのだが
逃しただけさ
[Verse 3]
だけど ふたたび いつの日にか
あの光が おいらを照らすだろう
[Verse 4]
あの光そいつは
古びた町のガス燈でもなく
月灯りでもない
スポットライトでなく
ローソクの火じゃない
まして 太陽の光じゃないさ
あの光 そいつは
あんたの目に
いつか 輝いていたものさ
また おいら いつか
感じるだろうか
あんたは なにを 知ってるだろうか
[Chorus]
It's not the spotlight, it's not the candle light
It's not the streetlight of some old street dreams
It's ain't the moonlight, not even the sunlight
But I've seen it shining in your eyes
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
[Verse 5]
あの光そいつは
古びた町のガス燈でもなく
月灯りでもない
スポットライトでなく
ローソクの火じゃない
まして 太陽の光じゃないさ
[Verse 6]
あの光 そいつは
あんたの目に
いつか 輝いていたものさ
また おいら いつか
感じるだろうか
あんたは なにを 知ってるだろうか
[Chorus]
It's not the spotlight, it's not the candle light
It's not the streetlight of some old street dreams
It's ain't the moonlight, not even the sunlight
But I've seen it shining in your eyes
You know what I mean
It's not the spotlight, it's not even sunlight
It's not the streetlight of some old street dreams
It's not the spotlight, it's not even candle light
But I've seen it shining in your eyes
You know what I mean
