When You Were Sixteen
James Thornton
When first I saw the love light in your eyes
I dreamed the world held nought
But joy for me
And even though we 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 o'er my dreams of love is o're
I love you as I loved you
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
