- When You Were Sweet Sixteen Lyrics / with translationsWhen 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.
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!
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.
