Hearts Of Fire

It was the summer of sixty-four
We ran the streets on the shore
And in every game we played we knew we had it made
Like no other time before

I was just a man, you were still a child
Two hearts that were running wild
There was no need to pretend
You became more than a friend, they were days without an end

We laughed where we played
We made love where we laid, in the light again we'd run
When the night called the tune we'd shoot at the moon
And laugh at what we'd done

We were hearts of fire
Do you remember, my friend?
We didn't think it would end
Together then we ran

This boy became a man
They burn on those hearts of fire
They burn on those hearts of fire
Hearts of fire

And by seventy two I was running free
It was just the way I wanted to be
I thought I'd never break again, I won't wear love like a chain
To be in love is to be in pain

As the warrior then I fall from grace
When we met again face to face
I thought I'd left our love for dead
But my heart, it ruled my head and I fell in love instead

We fought where we played
We made love where we laid just like the time before
And if the battle should tear us apart
We won't go to war no more

We were hearts of fire
Do you remember, my friend?
We didn't think it would end
Together then we ran

Turn a boy into a man
They burn on those hearts of fire
They burn on those hearts of fire
Hearts of fire
