Since first I saw
The love light in your eyes
And I heard your voice was singing
Sweet melodies
You spoke the words of love
Down to my soul
And the world held nothing
But a joy in store for me
You know that I love you
As I never loved before
When the first I met you
On the village green
Oh, come to me
Before my dream is over
I love you as I loved you
When you were sweet
When you were sweet
Said, when you were sweet
Sweet little sixteen
Last night I dreamt
I held your hand in mine
Oh, and once again
You were my happy bride
I kissed you as I did
The very first time
Then I woke up
And I hang my head and cry
You know that I love you
As I never have loved before
Since first I met you
On the village green
Come, come on to me
Before my dream is over
I love you as I loved you
When you were sweet
Lord, when you were sweet
When you were sweet
When you were sweet
When you were sweet
Sweet little sixteen
Sweet sixteen
