I don't want to waste my time sleeping
And I sure don't
Want to waste my time away
Spent too long a time running round
Waiting for a lucky break
I've done the same old trick, so many times
Looking for a way to make it new
And I'm still searching for the warm glow
Of the limelight
That I used to know with you

I never knew if I could be a star
But I felt like one
When you held me in your arms
Even on the roughest nights
The thought of you
Would lead me through to dawn
I would chase the sun a thousand miles
To find a way to make it disappear
But the days are getting shorter now
And the limelight
Seems so far away from here

Sha la la la...

I would chase the sun a thousand miles
To find a way to make it disappear
But the days are getting shorter now
And the limelight
Seems so far away from here
Away from here
