When You Were Sixteen - The Ink Spots

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.

when first i saw the lovelight in your eye,

and dreamt the world held naught but joy for me.

and even though we drifted far apart,

i never dreamt of 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.
