Air Supply - American Hearts lyrics

(dominic bugatti, frank musker)<br><br>They were married in september back in 1969<br>They traveled east to india to find some peace of mind<br>They stood for love and freedom<br>They were children of their time, wo wo<br>They lived in a world that was cold and uncaring<br>They swore they would change it with love and sharing<br>They never lived like their parents had done<br>Their innocence shone like the sun<br><br>(chorus)<br>American hearts, so filled with emotion<br>American hearts, so easily broken<br><br>Now they've got a family and a cottage in the hills<br>He's always working late to pay the mortgage and the bills<br>And she has trouble sleeping so the doctor gives her pills, wo wo<br>Who are these strangers who used to be lovers? <br>Now they've got nothing to say to each other<br>Too far apart to discuss their mistakes<br>They fought with divorce and it breaks their<br><br>(chorus)<br>Now that it's over, they each go on living<br>Never forgetting but somehow forgiving<br>They'll care for their children<br>Protect them with pride<br>And that's how the dream will survive in<br>(repeat chorus)
