Well, well
I loved you like I never loved before
First time I saw you standin'
Home at your front door
Do you remember you created quite a scene
When you were walkin' down
By the village green?

When you were only, when you were only
When you were only, when you were only
Sweet sixteen, baby, how I loved you
Sweet sixteen, how I really loved you
Sweet sixteen, baby, how I loved you
Sweet sixteen

Standin' on the corner and
You came walkin' by
And when I saw you I said "My, my, my, my"
Do you remember how I took you by your hand?
Do you remember in a sunny summer land?

When you were only, when you were only
When you were only, when you were only
Sweet sixteen, baby, how I loved you
Sweet sixteen, how I really loved you
Sweet sixteen, baby, how I loved you
Sweet sixteen

And your eyes shine like diamonds
And they sparkle in the night
And the kind of love that you give me
Seems to light up all of my life

And then, and then, and then I told you that
We'd never ever part and then, and then
And then I hold you a
Little closer to my heart do you remember
Our stars were shinin' bright?
Do you remember, it was on a magic night?

When you were only, when you were only
When you were only, when you were only
Sweet sixteen, baby, how I loved you
Sweet sixteen, how I really loved you
Sweet sixteen, baby, how I loved you
Sweet sixteen, how I really loved you
Sweet sixteen, baby, how I loved you
Sweet sixteen, how I really loved you
Sweet sixteen, baby, how I loved you
