When You Were Sweet Sixteen (1898)
When first I saw the love light in your eyes
I dreamed the world held nought but joy for me
And even though we drifted far apart
I never dream but what I dream of thee
I love you as I never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green
Come to me o'er my dreams of love is o're
I love you as I loved you
When you were sweet, when you were sweet sixteen
