LYRICS :
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 dream of thee
I love you as I've never loved before!
Since first I saw you on the village green.
Come to me, 'er my dreams of love are o'er!
I love you as I loved you,
When you were sweet,
When you were sweet sixteen.
I love you as I've never loved before!
Since first I saw you on the village green.
Come to me, 'er my dreams of love are o'er!
I love you as I loved you,
When you were sweet,
When you were sweet sixteen.

This is relaxing and comforting music. Now at 65 and a 1/2 divorced , 16 yr old daughter living with me, sadly not her scene. Hopefully she will be able to come back to it and have memories .9 years ago

Reminds me of the springtime of life, all hopes and dreams awaiting to be realised, like the buds on plants awaiting to flower. And for balance: For many a flower is born to blush unseen and waste it's sweetness on the desert air.9 years ago

I can't add much to the wonderful stories below, but for my part I'll simply revel in the glorious timelessness of this beautiful song - if you don't shed a tear, you can't have a heart.10 years ago

It's been 53+ years since my late Beloved and I started going steady, in the jargon of the time. I miss her every day. This song, like Ringsend Rose, always makes me think of her. Thank you.11 years ago
