WHEN YOU WERE SWEET SIXTEEN - Josef Locke Words and Music by James Thornton, 1898 When first I saw the love-light in your eye, And heard thy voice like sweetest melody, Speak words of love to my enraptur'd soul, The world had naught but joy in store for me, E'en though we're drifting down life's stream apart, Your face I still can see in dream's domain: I knew that it would ease my breaking heart To hold you in my arms just once again. CHORUS I love you as I never lov'd 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 lov'd 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 kiss'd you as I did in Auld Lang Syne, As to the church we wander'd side by side. The love I bear for you can never die: Without you I had rather not been born: And, even tho' we never meet again, I love you as the sunshine loves the morn. CHORUS

Songs2play's version is a v. old one you may be thinking of a band called the furey's who had a minor hit (14) in Oct '81with these lyrics -Verse 1-When first i saw the lovelight in your eye, I thought the world held naught but joy for me, and even though we've drifted far apart, I never dreamed but what I dreamed of thee. CHORUS Same. Verse2-I loved you as i've never loved before, Since first i saw you on the village green, Come to me or my dreams of love are o'er, I love you as i loved you when you were sweet sixteen. Repeat Chorus to end - Pretty similar to the original.
