LYRICS :

When first I saw the lovelight in your eye,
I thought the world held naught but joy for me.
And even though we've drifted far apart,
I never dreamed but 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.
