[Intro]
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
[Verse]
When first I saw the lovelight in your eye (Lovelight in your eye)
I dreamed the world held naught but joy for me (Naught but joy for me)
And even though we've drifted far apart (Drifted far apart)
I never dream but what I dream of thee
I never dream but what I dream of thee
[Chorus]
I love you as I've never loved before
Since first I mеt you on the village green
Come to mе, or my dream of love is o'er
I love you as I loved you
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
[Outro]
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
