American Hearts(3:13)
(Dominic Bugati, Frank Musker)
Lead Vocals: Graham Russell, Russell Hitchcock
They were married in December back in nineteen sixty nine
They traveled east to India to find some peace at mind
They stood for love and freedom they were children of their time whoa oh
They lived in a world that was cold and uncaring
They swore they would change it with loving and sharing
They'd never live like their parents had done
Their innocence shone like the sun
CHORUS
American hearts so filled with emotion
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 whoa oh
CHORUS
Who are these strangers who used to be lovers
Now they've got nothing left to say to each other
Too far apart to disuss their mistakes
They file for divorce and it breaks their
CHORUS
Now that it's over they each go on living
Never forgetting but somehow forgetting
They'll care for their children
Protect them with pride
And that's how the dream will survive in
CHORUS
