Heartlight

About Heartlight

"Welcome to Heartlight" is a Kenny Loggins song from his 1982 concept album, High Adventure. While many fans perceive this song as being inspired by the Steven Spielberg film E. T. the Extra-Terrestrial, it is really about a school in Southern California that's actually called "Heartlight". The song was inspired by writings from students from that school. On most pressings of High Adventure and on some Loggins greatest hits compilation albums, it is officially titled simply "Heartlight". The title was expanded to "Welcome to Heartlight" to avoid confusion with Neil Diamond's song also called "Heartlight". It was released as a single in early 1983 and peaked at number 24 on the U. S. Billboard Hot 100 and number 17 on the Adult Contemporary chart. more »

I like the love
And I like the peaceful
I wish everyone I know could
Stand in the heartlight

I hold the hand
I walk with the teacher
We welcome in the mornin'
Singing together

Can you feel the love that's in my heart
Can you see the flame we got to start
Burnin' like a beacon in the night
Oh, welcome to heartlight

Oh, ooh, heart of light
Oh, ooh, heart of light
Oh, ooh, heart of light
Oh, ooh, heart of light

Oh, ooh, heart of light
Oh, ooh, heart of light
Oh, ooh, heart of light
Oh, welcome to heartlight

I'm like the rain
'Cause I like your thunder
I know we've learned to live together
Here in the heartlight

Stand in the dark
Oh, oh and I'll light a candle
And then we'll dance it in the moonlight
Until the sunrise

Can you feel the love that's in my heart
Can't you see the flame we've got to start
Burnin' like a beacon in the night
Oh, welcome to heartlight

Oh, ooh, heart of light
Oh, ooh, heart of light
Oh, ooh, heart of light
Oh, ooh, heart of light

Oh, ooh, heart of light
Oh, ooh, heart of light
Oh, ooh, heart of light
Oh, welcome to heartlight

Can you feel the love that's in my heart
Can't you see the flame we've got to start
Burnin' like a beacon in the night
Oh welcome to heartlight

Oh, ooh, heart of light
Oh, ooh, heart of light
Oh, ooh, heart of light
Oh, ooh, heart of light
Oh, ooh, heart of light

Oh, ooh, heart of light
Oh, ooh, heart of light
Oh, ooh, heart of light
Oh, ooh, heart of light
Welcome to heartlight

Oh, ooh, heart of light

Oh, ooh, heart of light
