When You Were Sweet Sixteen
You were sweet sixteen
You were sweet sixteen
I love you as I never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green
Come to me or my dream of love is o'er
I love you as I loved you
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
When first I saw the lovelight in your eye
And dreamt the world held naught but joy for me
And even though we drifted far apart
I never dreamt of what I dream of thee
I love you as I never loved before!
Since first I met you on the village green
Come to me or my dream of love is o'er
I love you as I loved you
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
