When You Were Sweet Sixteen Lyrics

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.
