Intro verse 1 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 American hearts, so filled with emotion American hearts, so easily broken verse 2 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 filed for divorce and it breaks their American hearts, so filled with emotion American hearts, so easily broken Bridge Aah Haa American Hearts Aah Haa American Hearts Aah Haa Verse 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, so easily broken Outro American hearts, so filled with emotion American hearts, so easily broken (repeat and fade)
