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.
