When You Were Sweet Sixteen

Since first

I saw the love light

In your eyes

I thought the world

Held not but joy for me

And even though

We’ve drifted far apart

I never dream

But what I dreamed of you

I love you

As I never loved before

Since first

I saw you on the village green

Come to me

Or my dream of love is all

I love you

As I loved you

When you were sweet

When you were sweet sixteen

Since first

I saw the love light

In your eyes

I thought the world

Held not but joy for me

And even though

We’ve drifted far apart

I never dream

But what I dreamed of you

I love you

As I never loved before

Since first

I saw you on the village green

Come to me

Or my dream of love is all

I love you

As I loved you

When you were sweet

When you were sweet sixteen
