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.
