Limelight
Bonnie Tyler Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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

Limelight
You were all I ever wanted, since it all began
Limelight
Shining on me, telling the world who I am
Oh, Limelight
Don't let me slip right through you fingers
There's along way to fall
After all the years of waiting
I'm going to 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
Holding on isn't always easy
I am 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
Oh, Limelight
Don't let me slip right through you fingers
There's along way to fall

Limelight
You were all I ever wanted, since it all began
Limelight
Shining on me, telling the world who I am
Yeah, Limelight
Don't let me slip right through you fingers
There's along way to fall





Maybe the road's not easy
I'm gonna show them all

Tal vez, una mejor versión que la de Alan Parson's. Con su voz ronca, su claro sentimiento y su tremenda dulzura. Me conmueve hasta las lágrimas. Gracias!!!!!!!!!!
