When first I saw the love's light in your eyes And thought the world held naught but joy for me And even though we've drifted far apart But what I dreamed, I dreamed of thee I love you as I've never loved before Since first I saw you on the village green Come to me, ere my dreams of love are o'er I've loved you as I've 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 bonnie bride I kissed you as I did in auld lang syne As to the church we wandered side by side I love you like I've never loved before When first I saw you on the village green Come to me, ere my dreams of love are o'er I've loved you as I loved you When you were sweet, when you were sweet sixteen --- .
