Lyrics When You Were Sweet Sixteen - Val Doonican

When You Were Sweet Sixteen

i love you as i never loved before!
since first i met you on the village green.
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.
when first i saw the lovelight in your eye,
and dreamt the world held naught but joy for me.
and even though we drifted far apart,
i never dreamt of what i dream of thee
i love you as i never loved before!
since first i met you on the village green.
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.
