When You Were Sweet Sixteen

When first I saw the love-light in your eye I thought the world held naught but joy for me And even though we drifted far apart I never dream but what I dreamt of thee I loved you as I've never loved before Since first I saw you on the village green Come to me ere my dream of love is o'er I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet When you were sweet sixteen I loved you as I've never loved before Since first I saw you on the village green Come to me ere my dream of love is o'er I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet When you were sweet sixteen --- When You Were Sweet Sixteen - The Fureys
