Lyrics
They were married in September back in 1969
They traveled east to India to find some peace of mind
They stood for love and freedom
They were children of their time, wo wo
Oh they lived in a world that was cold and uncaring
They swore they would change it with love and sharing
They never lived like their parents had done
Their innocence shone like the sun
American hearts, so filled with emotion (American hearts)
American hearts, so easily broken (American hearts)
Now they've got a family and a cottage in the hills
He's always working late to pay the mortgage and the bills
And she has trouble sleeping so the doctor gives her pills, wo wo
Ohh just look at them
Who are these strangers who used to be lovers?
Now they've got nothing to say to each other
Too far apart to discuss their mistakes
They fought for divorce and it breaks
Their American hearts, so filled with emotion (American hearts)
American hearts, uh, so easily broken (American hearts)
All they needed was love
All they needed was love
All they needed was love
All they needed was love
Now that it's over, they each go on living
Never forgetting but somehow forgiving
They'll care for their children
Protect them with pride
And that's how the dream will survive
In American hearts, so filled with emotion (American hearts)
American hearts, uh, so easily broken (American hearts)
Uh-oh American hearts, so filled with emotion (American hearts)
American hearts, so easily broken (American hearts)
Oh, American hearts, so filled with emotion (American hearts)
Oh, American hearts, uh, so easily broken (American hearts)
They needed was love (American hearts)
So filled with emotion
All they needed was love (American hearts)
So easily broken
Ohh-uh (American hearts)
All they needed was love (American hearts)
All they needed was love (American hearts)
All they needed was love (American hearts)
There will be love (American hearts)
American hearts
American hearts
American hearts
American hearts
American hearts
American hearts
American hearts
American hearts
American hearts
American hearts
American hearts
American hearts
All they needed was love (American hearts)
All they needed was love (American hearts)
All they needed was love (American hearts)
They'll be love (American hearts)
All they needed was love (American hearts)
Uh, (American hearts)
American hearts
Feel courageous kind (American hearts)
Feel my courageous kind of love (American hearts)
They'll feel love (American hearts)
American hearts
American hearts
American hearts
American hearts (they'll feel love)
American hearts
