Only Sixteen lyrics

She was only sixteen, only sixteen

I loved her so

But she was too young to fall in love

And I was too young to know

We'd laugh and we'd sing

And do the little things

That made my heart glow

But she was too young to fall in love

And I was too young to know

Why did I give my heart so fast

It never will happen again

But I was a mere lad of sixteen

I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen, only sixteen

With eyes that would glow

But she was too young to fall in love

And I was too young to know

(Then why did you give your heart so fast)

Oh, it never will happen again

(But you were a mere lad of sixteen)

I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen, only sixteen

With eyes that would glow

But she was too young to fall in love

And I was too young to know

But she was too young to fall in love

And I was too young to know
