"When You Were Sweet Sixteen" (1901 record) LYRICS "I love you as I loved you when you were sweet"

"When You Were Sweet Sixteen" was written by James Thornton in 1898. Harry Macdonough sings "When You Were Sweet Sixteen" on Improved Berliner Gram-o-phone 172, recorded May 3, 1901. The singer does not cite the proper title when he announces the title. The legend is that the song was inspired by Thornton's wife, Bonnie, when she asked her husband if he still loved her. Thornton replied, "I love you like I did when you were sweet sixteen." When first I saw the lovelight in your eye, And heard thy voice, like sweetest melody, Speak words of love to my enraptured soul, The world held naught but joy in store for me. Even though we're drifting down life's stream apart, Your face I still can see in dream's domain. I know that it would ease my breaking heart To hold you in my arms just once again. 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 over. I love you as I loved you when you were sweet, when you were sweet sixteen.
