Come back again
I want you to stay next time
‘Cause sometimes this 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 hear the words that he might say

Turn on your heartlight
Let it shine wherever you go
Just 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
We’re gonna take a ride across the moon
You and me

He’s looking for home
Yea ’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
Just 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
We’re gonna take a ride across the moon

Turn on you heartlight now
Turn on you heartlight now
Turn on you heartlight now
