Limelight (from the musical GAMBLER)

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

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

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 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

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

Maybe the road's not easy

Maybe the prize is small

But after all the years of waiting

I'm gonna show them all
