[Verse 1]
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?

[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

[Verse 2]
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?

[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
[Bridge]
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

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 3]
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?

[Outro]
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
