When first I saw the love-light in your eye
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 never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green
Come to me in my dream of love is 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 in my dream of love is o'er
I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
