(Van Morrison)
|
Well, well, I loved you
|
Like I never loved before
|
First time I saw you
|
Standing home at your front door
|
Do you remember
|
You created quite a scene
|
When you were walking
|
Down by the village green
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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
|
|
Standing on the corner
|
And you came walking by
|
And when I saw you
|
I said "My, my, my, my"
|
Do you remember
|
How I took you by the hand?
|
Do you remember
|
In the sunny summerland?
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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 my life
|
|
And then, and then, and then I told you
|
That we'd never ever part
|
And then, and then, and then I'd hold you
|
A little closer to my heart
|
Do you remember
|
All the stars were shining bright?
|
Do you remember
|
It was on a magic night?
|
|
[Chorus and fade]
