When first I saw the love light in your eye
I dreamt the world held naught but joy for me
And even though we drifled far apart
I never dream, but what I dream of thee
I love you as I've 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 
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
Sincefirst 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
