Lyrics

Come back a (Fmaj9)gain.

I (Bb)want you to stay next (Fmaj9)time,

’cause (Bb)some times the world ain’t (Fmaj9)kind

when (Dm7)peo ple get lost like (Gm7)you

and (Gm7)me.

I just made a (Fmaj9)friend.

A (Bb)friend is some one you need.

But (Bb)now that he had to (Fmaj7)go

a (Dm7)way,

I (Gm7)still feel the words that (Gm7)he (Am)might (Bb)say: (Am)me.

Turn on your (Bbmaj7)heart light;

let it shine wher ev er you go.

Let it make a hap py glow for (C)all the world to see.

Turn on your (Bbmaj7)heart light;

in the mid dle of a (D7sus)young boy’s dream.

Don’t wake me (Gm9)up too soon.

Gon na (Gm7)take a ride a (Fmaj7)cross the moon,

you and me.

He’s look in’ for (Fmaj9)home,

’cause (Bb)ev ’ry one needs a place.

And (Bb)home’s the most ex lent (Fmaj7)place

of (Dm7)all.

And (Gm7)I’ll be right here if (Gm7)you (Am)should (Bb)call (Am)me.

Turn on your (Bbmaj7)heart light;

let it shine wher ev er you go.

Let it make a hap py glow for (C)all the world to see.

Turn on your (Bbmaj7)heart light;

in the mid dle of a (D7sus)young boy’s dream.

Don’t wake me (Gm9)up too soon.

Gon na (Gm7)take a ride a (Fmaj7)cross the moon,

you and me.

He’s look in’ for

And (Bb)home’s the most ex cel lent (F)place

of (Dm7)all.

And (Gm7)I’ll be right here if (Gm7)you (Am)should (Bb)call (Am)me.

Turn on your

you and me.

(Bb)Turn on your (Bb)heart light now.

(Bb)Turn on your (Bb)heart light (F)now.
