Limelight Lyrics by Eric Woolfson

Gambler

0

I can see the glow
Of a distant sun
I can feel it inside
Maybe this day
Could be the one

I can hear the roar
Of a distant crowd
They are waiting for me
Calling my name
Shouting out loud

Holding on isn't always easy
I ain't gonna change my mind

Limelight, you were all I ever wanted since it all began
Limelight, shining on me
Telling the world who I am
Limelight, don't let me slip right through your fingers
There's a long way to fall
After all the years of waiting
I'm gonna show them all

I can see the world
In a different light
Now it's easy to say
Where I went wrong
What I did right

I can hear the beat
Of a different drum
Take it all in my stride
Hold my head high
Second to none

Holding on wasn't always easy
Nothing can change my mind

Limelight, you were all I ever wanted since it all began
Limelight, shining on me
Telling the world who I am
Limelight, don't let me slip right through your fingers
There's a long way to fall
After all the years of waiting
I'm gonna show them all

Maybe the role's not easy
Maybe the prize is small
After all the years of waiting
I'm gonna show them all
