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 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
   2. 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
   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
