Hart became an instant hit with his rebellious looks, and his first album released in 1983 First Offense, featuring the hit song Sunglasses at Night. The album sold well in both Canada and the United States. The follow-up album was Boy in the Box in 1985, another very successful album featuring the song Never Surrender, which would be his highest-charting single. Hart would continue to record music, but his commercial success was significantly reduced after Box.
Today, Hart lives in the Bahamas with his wife, musician Julie Masse, and their four children.
Hymn To Love
Corey Hart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the stars fade all around me
All the times that w have known here
I will sing a hymn to love
We have lived and dreamed we two alone
In a world thdt's been our very own
With it's memories ever grateful
Just for you I sing a hymn to love
The smile that enlights your face
And my heart begins to sing
Your eyes have never lied
And my heart begins to sing
And my heart begins to sing
Lf one day you should ever disappear
Always remember these words
Lf one day we had to say goodbye
And our love should fade away and die
In my heart you will remain here
And I'ii sing a hymn to love
O for love, we live eternally
In the blue we'll roll this harmony
With every day we are in heaven
As for you, I'll sing a hymn to love
Don't you ever worry, dear
And the stars shall fade from the sky
All the times that we have known here
I will sing a hymn to our love
Oh darling,
Just for you I sing
A hymn to love
The song Hymn To Love by Corey Hart is a beautiful ode to love and devotion. The lyrics describe a deep connection between two people and the power of their love. The opening line, "If the sky should fall into the sea and the stars fade all around me," paints a vivid picture of a catastrophic event. However, the singer realizes that the one constant, unchanging force in their life is their love for each other, and they will sing a hymn to love in the face of any adversity. The subsequent lines describe a life shared together, one that is full of memories and gratitude. The singer remembers each embrace and the smile that lights up their partner's face, and it ignites their heart to sing. They believe that even if their love should fade away and die, the memory of their beloved will forever be in their heart.
The song is imbued with a sense of spiritual transcendence that elevates the love shared between the two. The line "For love, we live eternally" suggests that love is not just a fleeting emotion but a force that has the power to overcome even death. The hymn-like quality of the song evokes a religious ceremony, and the repeated phrase "I will sing a hymn to love" creates a mantra-like effect that reinforces the power of love. The closing line "Just for you, I sing a hymn to love" reinforces the idea that love is a deeply personal experience that connects two people. Overall, the song is a beautifully crafted declaration of love that celebrates the enduring power of the human heart.

One of the best covers ever. Corey’s version has so much heart and depth. I believe Edith Piaf wrote it after her lover was killed in a plane crash. Corey’s rendition invokes her pain and makes for a must listen. I think anyone who has lost a significant other could easily relate to this song. Its a beautiful master piece and deserved a much better fate on the charts.

It's sooo good to see this. I used to be able to find it, and then it disappeared. This song is so powerful and touching. Corey's voice transcends beyond and is so powerful. I get massive goosebumps every time I watch this. Hands down the best cover of this song!!
Thank you for releasing this again, Corey. Now to watch it again
