When first I saw the love light in your eye 
I dreamt the world held naught but joy for me 
And even though we drifled far apart 
I never dream, but what I dream of thee 

I love you as I never loved before 
Sincefirst 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 
Sincefirst 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
