When You Were Sweet Sixteen

When first I saw the love light in your eyes,
I thought the world held nought but joy for me
And even though we drifted far apart
I never dream but what I dream off you

[Chorus]
I love you as I never loved before
Since first I saw you on the village green
Come to me e'er my dreams of love is o're,
I love you as I loved you,when you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen

Last night I dreamen I held you in my arms
And once again you were my happy bride
I kissed you as I did on 'Auld Lang Syne',
As to the church we wandered side by side

When first I saw the love light in your eyes
I thought the world held nought but joy for me...
And even though we drifted far apart...
I never dream but what I dream off you...

[Chorus]
I love you as I never loved before...
Since first I saw you on the village green...
Come to me 'ere my dreams of love is o're...
I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
