Lyrics:

You were sweet sixteen, 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
