When You Were Sweet Sixteen lyrics

[Verse 1]
When first I saw the love light in your eyes
I dreamt the world held not but joy for me
And even though we drifted far apart
I never dream but what I dream of thee

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Last night I dreamt I held your hand in mine
And once again, you were my happy bride
I kissed you as I did in auld lang syne
As to the church we wandered side by side

[Chorus]
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
