(Dominic Bugatti, Frank Musker)
|
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
|
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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
American hearts, so filled with emotion
|
American hearts, so easily broken
|
|
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
|
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 with divorce and it breaks their
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
