Lyrics of When You Were Sweet Sixteen by The Fureys
verse
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
chorus
I love you as I've never loved before
Since first I saw you on the village green
Come to me 'ere my dream of love are o'er
I love you as I loved you
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
chorus
I love you as I've never loved before
Since first I saw you on the village green
Come to me 'ere my dreams of love are o'er
I love you as I loved you
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
