It was a quiet night I was too far from home At the end of the street, where the young lovers meet, she was standin' alone And when I asked her name I saw the look on her face She said: "You know I've been waitin' every night in this place" "And though you've taken your time Well, I'm so glad you came" And I just couldn't hide The feelin' inside was like a burnin' flame Hearts on fire, locked in love Hearts on fire, locked in love Long desire, hearts on fire Hearts on fire, hearts on fire And as we walked down the street With her hand in mine I said: "You know what I'm feelin' All my life I've been wastin' my time" She said: "You've always been here Somewhere safe in my heart And you know I've been with you Like we were never apart" And when I looked in her eyes I knew I felt the same When she started to smile The feelin' inside was like a burnin' flame Hearts on fire, locked in love Hearts on fire, locked in love Long desire, hearts on fire Hearts on fire, hearts on fire Hearts on fire, locked in love Hearts on fire, locked in love Long desire, hearts on fire Hearts on fire, hearts on fire
