Heart & Soul
Dusty Springfield & Cilla Black Lyrics

Ooh, hoo
Expressing excitement and enthusiasm.

It was back in 'sixty-three
Referring to a time in the past.

We were young and we were free
Describing a period of life characterized by liberty and youthfulness.

Thought the world was really ours for the taking
Believing that anything was possible.

We had heart and we had soul
Living with passion and emotional depth.

Ooh, we lived for rock and roll
Living life to the fullest with a particular interest in rock and roll music.

And didn't we, didn't we, didn't we do it?
Expressing pride and satisfaction for past accomplishments.

Fashions come and fashions go
Recognizing that trends and styles change over time.

We were there so we should know
Having been present during a particular era and therefore possessing knowledge and understanding of its characteristics.

I sometimes smile when I think of how I looked then
Reflecting on past appearances and feeling amusement or nostalgia.

Burning candles at both ends
Working hard and staying up late to achieve goals.

Hoping time would make amends
Expecting that the passage of time will heal past wounds or regrets.

With heart and soul
Emphasizing the importance of passion and emotional commitment.

The world is yours, the stars are too
Encouraging the listener to dream big and aim for the highest goals.

If you bring out the best in you
Stressing the importance of self-improvement and self-actualization.

Whatever you've been wantin' to do
Encouraging the listener to pursue their desires and dreams.

Heart and soul will see it through, oh, ho
Asserting that with emotional commitment and dedication, the listener can overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.

Now we're older nothing's changed
Noticing that despite the passage of time, certain things remain constant.

Just some things are rearranged
Acknowledging that while some aspects of life stay the same, others may change or shift around.

But the message is the same as when we started
Noting that the core values and beliefs that motivated the artist have remained consistent throughout life.

We're gettin' stronger everyday
Asserting that, despite aging, the artist continues to grow and develop.

Looking back now we can say
Reflecting on the past with greater perspective and wisdom.

See it through, see it through, ooh, hoo
Encouraging the listener to persist and continue working towards their goals.

Sing it, sing it, sing it, oh, yeah
Encouraging the listener to join in and participate in the uplifting message of the song.

Oh, ho, it will see, will see, will see it through, ooh, hoo
Repeating and emphasizing the message that emotional commitment and dedication will lead to success.

You can see it, you can see it, see it, see it through
Reiterating the belief that the listener can achieve their goals with passion and dedication.
