"Sweet Sixteen" lyrics - DANIEL O'DONNELL

When first I saw the love light in your eyes
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 you

I love you as I've never loved before
Since first I saw you on the village green
Come to me e'er my dreams of love are o're
I love you as I loved you when you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen

Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
And once again you were my happy bride
I kissed you as I did on 'Auld Lang Syne'
As to the church we wandered side by side

I love you as I've never loved before
Since first I saw you on the village green
Come to me e'er my dreams of love are o're
I love you as I loved you when you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
