When you were sweet sixteen - James Thornton

[G] When first [G/F#]I saw the [Em] love light in [C] your eye[C/B] [Am]
I [D] dreamt the world held naught but joy for me[G] [D]
And [G] even [G/F#] though we [Em]drifted far [C] apa[C/B]rt [Am]
I [D]never dream, but what I dream of [G]thee [D]

I [G]love you [G/F#] as I [Em]never loved [C] befor[C/B]e[Am]
Since [D]first I met you on the village green[G] [D]
Come [G] to me [G/F#] or my [Em]dream of love is [C] O'er [C/B] [Am]
I [C]love you as I [G] loved you [G/F#] [Em]
When you were sw[Bm]eet
When you were [Am]sweet [D] six[G]teen

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
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
