When You Were Sweet Sixteen
James Thornton
When first I saw the love-light in your eyes
I dreamed the world held naught but joy for me
And even though we drifted far apart
I never dream but 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
(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 you were sweet sixteen)
