It was the summer of sixty-four, we ran the streets on to 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 it, my friend, we didn't think that 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 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 start to tear us apart
We won't go to war no more
We were hearts of fire
Do you remember it, my friend, we didn't think that 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
They burn on those hearts of fire, hearts of fire
We were hearts of fire ....
