Sweet Sixteen....

I have no idea what brought this beautiful song to mind, but I hope you enjoy it…Mike..

When you were Sweet Sixteen...

James Thornton

When first I saw the love light in your eye

I dreamt the world held naught 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 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 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
