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.
