When you were[Am] sweet six[G]teen
 
Last night I dreamen 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

Lyrics Without Chords
When first I saw the love light in your eyes,,
I thought the world held nought but joy for me
And even though we drifted far apart
I never dream but what I dream of you
[Chorus]
 love you as I never loved before
Since first I saw you on the village green
Come to me e'er my dreams of love is o're,,
I love you as I loved you,when you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
 
Last night I dreamen 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
[repeat chorus] side
