Spotlight - Lucy Kaplansky
I like the way you play your songs
I like the way you sing
You look so good in colored lights
And the brilliant spotlight ring.
And up there your eyes are fiery
And hotter by degree
But weary and confused
When no one else can see.
So you need to feel the fire
When you fear it starts to go
To feel the heat of all those lights
Long after the show.
And you need it so much now
You don't even know
If all the world's a stage to you
Then where else can you go?
[Chorus]
You could come away with me tonight
I can make it all alright
You don't need a spotlight
You just need a home.
I want to drive away with you
Far from New York streets
And hit on a highway
Where sky and road still meet.
And the sky out there is bright
And the moon's about to rise
It's all there waiting
If you'd look into my eyes.
Cause here in the city
There isn't much to see
And here in this apartment
You can hardly breathe.
And the only lights you see tonight
Are on the ceiling moving slow
Flashing signs and headlights
In an eery neon glow.
[Repeat Chorus twice]
