When first I saw the love light in your eyes
I thought the world held naught but joy for me
And even though we've drifted far apart
I never dream, 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 or my dream of love is o'er
I love you as I loved you
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
Last night I dreamt I held your hand in mine
And once again you were my happy bride
I kissed you as I did in auld lang syne
As to the church we wandered side by side
I love you as I've never loved before
Since first I saw you on the village green
Come to me or my dreams of love is o'er
I love you as I loved you
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
