When You Were Sweet Sixteen

When You Were Sweet Sixteen - John McNicholl

When first I saw the love light in your eyes

I dreamt the world held not but joy for me

And even though we've drifted far apart

I never dreamed but what I dreamed of thee

I love you as I've never loved before

Since first I saw you on the village green

Come to me all my dreams of love is o'er

I love you as I loved you when you were sweet

When you were sweet sixteen

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

I love you as I've never loved before

Since first I saw you on the village green

Come to me all my dreams 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 loved you when you were sweet

When you were sweet sixteen
