When first I saw the love's light in your eyes
And thought the world held naught but joy for me
And even though we've drifted far apart
But what I dreamed, I dreamed of thee
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've loved you as I've 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 bonnie bride
I kissed you as I did in auld lang syne
As to the church we wandered side by side
I love you like I've never loved before
When first I saw you on the village green
Come to me, ere my dreams of love are o'er
I've loved you as I loved you
When you were sweet, when you were sweet sixteen
