When first I saw the lovelight in your eyes, 
I thought the world held naught but joy for me. 
And even though we've drifted far apart, 
I never dream of what I dream of thee 
I love you as I've never loved before! 
Since first I saw you on the village green. 
Come to me, 'er my dreams of love are o'er! 
I love you as I loved you, 
When you were sweet, 
When you were sweet sixteen.
I love you as I've never loved before! 
Since first I saw you on the village green. 
Come to me, 'er my dreams of love are o'er! 
I love you as I loved you, 
When you were sweet, 
When you were sweet sixteen.
