Heartlight

Neil Diamond · Top Tunes Karaoke Cdg Tt-067 Hall Of Fame Vol. 6 Neil Diamond [2001]

Come back again

I want you to stay next time

'Cause sometimes the world ain't kind

When people get lost like you and me



I just made a friend

A friend is someone you need

But now that he had to go away

I still feel the words that he might say



Turn on your heartlight

Let it shine wherever you go

Let it make a happy glow

For all the world to see

Turn on your heartlight

In the middle of a young boy's dream

Don't wake me up too soon

Gonna take a ride across the moon

You and me



He's lookin' for home

'Cause everyone needs a place

And home's the most excellent place of all

And I'll be right here if you should call me



Turn on your heartlight

Let it shine wherever you go

Let it make a happy glow

For all the world to see

Turn on your heartlight

In the middle of a young boy's dream

Don't wake me up too soon

Gonna take a ride across the moon

You and me



And home's the most excellent place of all

And I'll be right here if you should call me

Turn on your heartlight

Let it shine wherever you go

Let it make a happy glow

For all the world to see

Turn on your heartlight

In the middle of a young boy's dream

Don't wake me up too soon

Gonna take a ride across the moon

You and me

Turn on your heartlight now

Turn on your heartlight now
