When first I saw the love light in your eyes I thought the world held naught but joy for me And even though we've drifted far apart I never dream but what I dream of you I love you as I've never loved before Since first I saw you on the village green Come to me e'er my dreams of love are o're I love you as I loved you when you were sweet When you were sweet sixteen Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms And once again you were my happy bride I kissed you as I did on 'Auld Lang Syne' As to the church we wandered side by side I love you as I've never loved before Since first I saw you on the village green Come to me e'er my dreams of love are o're I love you as I loved you when you were sweet When you were sweet sixteen
