Kenny Loggins

Stand or fall
The love you have
Is all you have to give
As long as you live
On your own
You're never all alone

There'll be a light to guide you on
Remember that love is there

(Stand your ground)
(Stand your ground)
You made it this far, baby
Don't let it go
(Stand your ground)
(Stand your ground)
This is the moment for you know, ohh

(I'll be there)
(To hold you in my heart)
'Cause our love lasts forever
(I'll be there)
I'll never let us drift apart
I'll be there for you

Comes a day
Feels so feels away
So far to go
You should know by now

(I'll see you)
You're free
(I know)
How we used to be
(To be the one)

You've got the power
Do whatever you desire
You're gonna bet to win
You're a survivor

(Stand your ground)
Whoa, oh, oh
(Stand your ground)
I swear wherever you have to go
Darlin' know

(I'll be there)
(To hold you in my heart)
'Cause our love lasts forever
(I'll be there)
I'll never let us drift apart
I'll be there for you

(I'll be there)
(No need to feel alone)
(When your love lasts forever)
(I'll be there)
My heart is gonna be at home

(You gotta love)
(You gotta love)
(You gotta know you got my love)
Whoa, oh, oh

(You gotta love)
(You gotta love)
(You gotta know you got my love)
Oh, my love

(You gotta love)
(You gotta love)
(You gotta know you got my love)
Wooo, oooh

(I'll be there)
(To hold you in my heart)
'Cause our love lasts forever
(I'll be there)
Oh, I'll never let us drift apart
(I'll be there for you)

(I'll be there)
(No need to feel alone)
'Cause our love lasts forever
(I'll be there)
My heart is gonna be at home
(I'll be there for you)

(You gotta love)
(You gotta love)
(You gotta love)
Woo hoo
Whoa, oh, oh

(I'll be there)
(To hold you in my heart)
'Cause our love lasts forever
(I'll be there)
I'll never let us drift apart
(I'll be there for you)

(You gotta love)
(You gotta love)
(You gotta love)
Woo hoo
Whoa, oh, oh

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Kenny Loggins has enjoyed more than three decades of success in the music business, as a songwriter and performer, mostly in a soft rock vein. He was born Kenneth Clarke Loggins in Everett, WA in early 1948, and the family later moved to Detroit, and finally to Alhambra, CA when he was in his teens. He initially turned to music as a way of compensating for his extreme shyness, and found that he was, indeed, a talented guitarist and had a voice. For a time in the late ‘60s he was based in Pasadena, studying at Pasadena City College. At the end of the decade, Loggins passed through the lineup of a band called Gator Creek, who were good enough to get signed to Mercury Records. The group recorded one self-titled album, which was issued in 1970 and included an early version of “Danny’s Song,” a track that he later recorded again as part of Loggins & Messina. He also spent time with a short-lived group called Second Helping, and was a member of the stage incarnation of the Electric Prunes during a later phase of that group’s history.

Loggins was proficient on the guitar and piano, but it was his songwriting that allowed him to make his first lasting impression on the music industry. He took a job as a staff writer for Wingate Music, for $100.00 a week, and later that year four of his songs ended up on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band album Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy. This event was particularly fortuitous, as that album was the first release by the newly reconstituted version of the group, and included what proved to be their biggest hit, “Mr. Bojangles.” The presence of the latter helped make Uncle Charlie one of the group’s biggest selling long-players; and the exposure generated a second hit in the form of Loggins’ own “House at Pooh Corner.”

The success of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s recordings brought Loggins to the attention of former Poco member Jim Messina, who was working as a staff producer at CBS. It was Messina’s intention to produce Loggins' debut album, but he also ended up playing and singing on the record, and it worked out so well that the two ended up in a duo. Loggins & Messina were among the most popular folk-based soft rock acts of the first half of the ‘70s and enjoyed a four-year string of successful albums.
