When You Were Sweet Sixteen Lyrics - Perry Como

When first I saw the love-light in your eyes 

I dreamed the world held not but joy for me 

And even though we drifted far apart 

I never dream but what I dream of thee 

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'are 

I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet 

When you were sweet sixteen 

(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'are) 

I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet 

When you were sweet sixteen 

(When you were sweet sixteen)
