When first I saw the lovelight in your eye I thought the world held naught but joy And even though we drifted far apart I never dream, but what I dream of thee
I love you as I've never loved before Since first I saw you on the village green Come to me and my dreams of love are 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've never loved before Since first I saw you on the village green Come to me and my dreams of love are o'er I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet When you were sweet sixteen
