When You Were Sixteen lyrics
When You Were Sixteen lyrics, performed by Al Jolson in The Jolson Story, among many others — written by James Thornton
You were sweet sixteen, you were sweet sixteen
I love you as I never loved before!
Since first I met you on the village green.
Come to me, or my dream of love is o’er!
I love you as I loved you,
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen.
