Lyrics of When You Were Sweet Sixteen by Al Jolson
intro
When first I saw the love light in your eye
I dreamt the world had not but joy for me
And even though we drifted far apart
I never dream, but when I dream of thee
verse
I love you as I never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green
Come to me and my dream of love is over
I love you as I loved you when you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
verse
I love you as I never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green
Come to me and my dream of love is over (love is over)
outro
I love you as I loved you (love you)
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen (sweet sixteen)
Writer(s): James Thornton
